Πρόσφυγες - Refugees

What a privilege it has been to be part of two refugee camps this month. The second week of June Mike served a camp for 26 Muslim refugee men. These men were from Morocco, Algeria, Iran, Syria and Nigeria. They spent five days together at camp enjoying Persian food, fun times in the sea and sharing about who Jesus is.

The next week both Mike and I served at family refugee camp where we hosted 20 Afghan families (88 people total). It was an incredible time to just love on these people as we did crafts, archery, played games and swam together. They enjoyed the refreshment from the city and we loved sharing with them truths about Jesus from the gospel of John, Jesus as the Good Shepherd, the Light of the World, The Bread of Life, and the Way and the Truth and the Life.

Please pray that the many of these people will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
