  • Influx of refugees from North Africa, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East
  • Atheism and disassociation with religion
  • Permissive societies
  • Growing Muslim populations
  • Unreached people groups: 382

Continued unrest in the world has created so many refugees who are fleeing to Europe to find safe haven. What they typically find instead is resentment and prejudice from locals, homelessness, and hunger. The indigenous ministries in this region are like an oasis in the desert for weary souls, offering refugees food, clothing, and other basic necessities, along with counseling, shelter, and help to obtain asylum, medical treatment, and other services. Most importantly, ministry workers share the gospel with them and are leading many to Christ.

Ministry Highlight

In Serbia, a ministry is supporting two church plants among the Romani people. Within the span of a few months, one of the churches baptized over 100 people. “The impact of this Romani church is huge,” the ministry leader said, “because many Romani people are coming from outside the city, region, or country to get baptized.”

How You Can Make a Difference

Indigenous ministries in Europe are taking the opportunity to share the love of Christ with the multitude of refugees who have fled their countries from war and terrorism. The practical aid that these ministries offer has opened the hearts of many refugees to the gospel message. Practical aid, however, is a constant need as indigenous ministries are inundated with requests for help. Your support will enable these ministries to provide vital food, medicine, and shelter in Jesus’ name to refugees in physical and spiritual need.

From the Mission Field in Europe

Deliver Compassionate Aid To Refugees in Europe
A young mother fled her home country with her three children to escape an abusive husband, but she was separated from two of her children on the journey. When a refugee ministry in Europe was able to reunite the family and provide for their physical needs as well as help with legal documents, it paved the way for workers to also share the gospel. The woman became a believer and was baptized before she continued on to her new country of residence. Donations of $35 or $70 help ministries such as this supply aid to refugees and bring the hope of Christ into their lives. Pray that God will continue to open doors to minister.

Comfort Traumatized Refugees in Spain
A young African refugee who witnessed the murder of his family by jihadists stumbled into a refugee ministry after a harrowing journey across the Strait of Gibraltar in which many people drowned. When he arrived at the refugee ministry, he was psychologically traumatized and angry with God. Workers ministered to him, and one man shared the gospel. The young refugee was overwhelmed by their compassion and decided to put his faith in Christ. Now, he is in training to become a Christian leader among other refugees from his country. Donations are needed to continue reaching refugees for Christ. Pray for God to raise up leaders to minister among refugee families.

Provide Spritual And Humanitarian Care To Refugees in Slovakia
A Ukrainian refugee visited a local ministry to obtain groceries and receive free dental and barber services. The workers were so kind to him that he also began attending church services on Sundays and a small group during the week where he studies the Bible and fellowships with others. “I’m so grateful to ministers and partners for help they provide to refugees today,” he said. Though the ministry provides humanitarian support to thousands of refugees, leaders also recognize the importance of spiritual and emotional care, and they build relationships through small groups and church services. Donations of $35 or $70 are needed to help meet the needs of the increasing number of refugees. Pray that the physical and spiritual needs of refugees can be met.

Support Fellowship Opportunities
Recognizing the importance of discipleship to both men and women, a native ministry has worked hard to organize groups and events specifically targeting the spiritual needs of local believers. Ministry workers led a men’s study called “Every Man is a Fighter” that helped train Christian men how to serve in different ministries; a widow’s ministry enabled 22 local widows to fellowship together and learn how to be involved in the church; and approximately 50 women attended a recent event called “The Role of Women in the Church.” Donations of $25 or $50 help support such needs in the country. Pray for believers to be encouraged and strengthened in their faith.

Give Aid To Refugees in Slovakia
A retired couple fled Ukraine and discovered a refugee ministry when they arrived in Slovakia. The ministry workers offered them groceries and medicine and invited them to their church services. “Besides help we had warm fellowship when we visited them,” the woman said. “In that church there is always order, very nice and very cozy atmosphere.” The ministry has provided aid to more than 12,000 refugees since it began almost two years ago, and workers not only provide everyday necessities, but they also pray for and listen to those who seek their help. Donations help support this important outreach. Pray for refugees to believe in the hope of Christ.

Encourage Refugees With The Hope Of Christ in Europe
A refugee family that has lived for eight years in a refugee center learned about Christ through a native ministry and chose to accept Jesus as Savior and be baptized, leaving behind their traditional Muslim religion. Though their life in the refugee center is difficult and their future uncertain, their perspective was transformed when they became believers. “They follow a discipleship study every week and they understand that now they are a part of God’s family,” the ministry leader said. “They follow Jesus in a serious way.” Gifts of $35 or $70 support compassionate aid to families such as theirs. Pray for the Holy Spirit to encourage ministry workers in this important work.
