[Math] Mean value property satisfied of continuous functions.

partial differential equations

If $u$ is only continuous and satisfies Mean value property , is it true that $u$ is harmonic in $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ .
$\Omega$ is bounded and open.
What basically here should I know to prove it .
Hints are appreciated .
Thanks

You can find a (sketch) of the proof on Wikipedia, based on approximation by convolutions. A different approach, based on the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the laplacian, can be read in Axler's book here.
