The Need for Living Hope Sarah Bedi, Stockholm, Sweden

A local flyer providing information about events and activities supported by the local municipality was distributed to our buildings.

LOVE DRESSED IN WORK CLOTHES Mindy Henson, Kyiv, Ukraine

Thousands of Ukrainians have fled from eastern Ukraine since the war with Russia began in 2014. They are desperate to find places to live and hope for the future.

The Power of God at Work Linda Kitchen, Amsterdam

The Lord works in powerful and mysterious ways. It’s been exciting to see God at work through our ministry to the refugees in Amsterdam. A short-term mission team joined us in the spring of 2017. We prayer walked around the refugee camp to lay the foundation for God to show up through divine appointments. Within … continued

Hamburg, Germany has over 300 refugee camps throughout the city.

Glimpses of Germany by Matteo E.

My time in Germany was incredibly eye opening. As you can see above, there are hundreds of refugee camps all throughout the city of Hamburg, about 300 in total.

Ministry to Refugees in Berlin, Germany by D. Goering

Among those we met in the temporary refugee shelter were these three guys from Afghanistan. They made a fancy meal for us in their modular “container” home. We also were able to give Arabic/German and Persian/German New Testaments to a couple of guys. They are from Iraq and Iran and seem eager to learn about … continued
