Escape from a terrifying apocalypse Greece
Escape from a terrifying apocalypse
Hundreds of people fled in panic as the fastapproaching flames engulfed the coastal resorts on the eastern coastline of Greece in July 2018. Many ran towards the sea, others attempted to drive through the terrifying apocalypse.

Among those fleeing by car was TEN partner Viorica and her husband Dominic who became caught in the middle of the fire while driving home along the highway. They experienced first-hand the horror and fear of not being able to escape.
With the flames fast approaching and hardly able to see anything due to the thick smoke, they prayed for a way out of the highway that was packed with cars and full of horror-struck people struggling to escape.
The police finally redirected them and for a few moments they felt relieved. But then they drove into another fire and with more urgent prayers and boldness they drove on only to discover a third one.
Fearful and unable to see ahead, due to the darkness and flames, they prayerfully drove on through to finally reach a safe place.
Sadly, many lives were lost that day and local churches brought comfort and practical help for the bereaved and those made homeless.
Viorica and Dominic praise God for His protection over them and value the support of all who pray for TEN’s partners.
