We first arrived in Europe as missionaries in 2007 with our six children. After 7 years in Southern France we were moved to Greece by God where our disciple making ministry in Athens focused on the closed Muslim nations entering Greece under refugee status.

In 2015-2017 Europe saw thousands arrive through the nation of Greece. We worked to reach these Muslim nations from 2012 to 2020 in collaboration with many other missionaries and ministries in the Athens area. Over the last 4-5 years the front line for this work has moved to the Eastern Aegean Islands along the coast of Turkey where the EU helped build several large detention camps in 2021 on 4 Greek Eastern Aegean islands. We along with several other missionaries with the same desire formed an alliance to reach these displaced peoples on these islands and to also see the church revived and established on these islands among the Greek residents.This vision and work is called AMIRA Greece or The Aegean Mediterranean Island Reach Alliance. The vision is to revive the call of the early church the Aegean & Mediterranean World. In 2021 our alliance partners established a hub and a refugee ministry called Hope House on the island of Samos. Now, the work is being extended further south along the Dodecanese Island Chain where three other Refugee camps exist and yet no gospel witness. Presently both the Samos/Ikaria Island Cluster and the Patmos/Leros cluster have been engaged. Pray with us for the Lord to build his church among these nations and the Greek world as the Kingdom and his Word is proclaimed and disciples made. Pray with us for hardy disciples of Chirst to come and live life among these islands and to see a network of believers established across the Dodecanese Islands. Thank you for your prayers and sacrificial partnership with us!

In his rest and keep, Brad and Jamie Newport
