ATHENS, Greece — Missionaries of the Greece Athens Mission cleaned debris on the famed Mars Hill May 7 in preparation for the annual Celebration of Goodness program scheduled for mid-May.
Wearing shirts imprinted with "Come celebrate with me the goodness of others," missionaries began working early in the morning and continued during the day as tourists passed by visiting the site where the Apostle Paul decried the worship of unknown gods by the Athenians.
The Celebration of Goodness is sponsored by the Goodwill Committee of Athens with the aim of recognizing volunteers and the good in humanity.
Some tourists stopped to express their appreciation to the missionaries, while others said they wished they could have such help in their area.
