Michael and Maria Long’s ministry is a unique, strategic, open-door response to the global immigration and refugee crisis. The FM Church of Thessaloniki Anagenesis (New Birth) is multicultural and multilingual, with English as the common language. Those from non-Christian countries often acknowledge that the Anagenesis church is the first church they have visited. Some discover Jesus, but all gain a positive impression of Christianity and the church. Ministries include assistance at a refugee center, aid distribution to refugee camps, language classes, weekly Bible studies in Farsi and Arabic, and relationship evangelism.
