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

Help Refugees Overcome Challenges in Greece
Pray for refugees as they seek a better life. A family of six refugees sought help at a local ministry’s refugee center because one of their children went missing during their journey. Ministry workers connected them with an attorney who was able to locate their child in Switzerland, but legal deadlines were fast approaching for them to be reunited. To everyone’s surprise, their documents were quickly approved, and the family was able to travel to Switzerland. “The Lord is good!” the ministry leader said. “So much of the facilitation we see in the processes of people’s lives is the immediate result of the Lord’s intervention.” Your donations of $35 or $70 support aid to refugees.

Help Refugees Obtain a Better Life in Greece
Pray for Christian workers as they minister to refugees. With the recent addition of a mobile office unit to a local ministry’s refugee outreach, ministry workers are able to visit camps to assess the needs of and provide aid to refugees who often miss important immigration application deadlines simply because they do not understand the legal requirements. “If we are ‘on site,’ the people will have access to professionals in the field who will be able to provide them not only information but also assess their needs in cases of domestic violence, coerced prostitution, or even trafficking,” the ministry leader said. Support refugee outreach through donations of $35 or $70.

Help Indigenous Missionaries Plant New Churches in Europe
A native ministry in one of the least-reached countries in Europe recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of their church with a special ceremony. During the event, missionaries and church attendees—both present and past—shared their testimonies and church experiences. Many have spent years supporting the church through various discipleship, evangelism, and training projects. “It was also a blessed time to meet those believers who were grown in our church and now they are serving in other cities,” the ministry leader said. “Praise the Lord!” Donations enable native ministries to plant and operate churches such as this. Pray their communities will be blessed through their work.

Engage With New Communities in Slovakia
Pray that missionaries’ outreach will encourage the lost to learn about Jesus. Families received firewood and food from a local ministry that planted a church in their community. Because of this outreach, many people began to visit the church, with one man consistently attending every Sunday. “This ministry is not only supplying the needs of people, but it is also overflowing in thanksgiving to God!” the ministry leader said. “It’s an open door for the gospel, an open door into their homes and hearts. So thankful!” Donations support outreach such as this.

Help Minister to the Poor in Albania
Pray that hearts will be open to the salvation that Christ offers. On learning of the challenges suffered by a poor family in their community, a team of missionaries from a local ministry came together to build a new house for them. “It was a big blessing for this family who couldn’t afford to build a new shelter on their own,” the ministry leader said. “They saw the hand of God and are deeply grateful to God for this blessing. Praise the Lord!” Your donations support local ministries as they serve others in their communities.

Encourage Refugees to Trust in the Lord in Greece
Pray that refugees will hear the word of the Lord and give their lives to Him. A young refugee who came to know Jesus through a local ministry still daily struggles because he cannot legally work and does not have the finances to support himself. But because of what he learned of Jesus through the ministry, he remains faithful to Jesus, trusting in Him despite his difficulties. Recently, he even asked the ministry leader about tithing. “We are witnessing how he got baptized and how he is growing in Jesus,” the ministry leader said. Your donations of $35 or $70 support ministries as they assist refugees in difficult times.
