One Heart is one of our most cherished ministry partners in Athens, Greece - a place where compassion, courage, and the love of Jesus are transforming lives every single day. 
Each time we step into their small but vibrant clinic, we’re reminded why this ministry is so close to our own hearts.
For people who have fled war, persecution, and hardship, the clinic has become nothing short of a lifeline. We’ve watched patients arrive weary and burdened, only to be met with gentle care, prayer, and the steady presence of a community that truly listens.
But the team doesn’t stop at medical treatment. They walk with patients through the daunting asylum process, helping them navigate systems that can feel overwhelming when you’re far from home.
And just beneath the clinic, in a simple basement room, a Farsi‑speaking church gathers each week. Hearing worship rise in the heart language of many who come through the clinic doors is one of the most moving parts of this ministry.
Many who never imagined finding hope again are discovering faith, friendship, and family there.
Most refugees who visit One Heart are truly amazed by their kind and respectful care. Several people have asked about Christianity. We answered their questions, and now they are believers.

Pray with us for One Heart
- That people far from home can find hope and hear about Jesus through the clinic.
- For Sahar who is the founder of the ministry, once a refugee from Iran herself. She works tirelessly to serve people and has health challenges of her own.
- For Sahar’s family and other Iranian members of the church community as they have been directly impacted by the conflict back home.
