keep themselves to themselves, sleeping
together in a corner. Walking around the

scene in the migrant camps, and that the
German Police have proposed separating the
Christian migrants from the Muslim migrants
for their safety. We walked into the play-

Shortly after this bulletin, by the grace
of God our dear brother, sister and
family were blessed with an apartment.

through the Balkans each day at this time,
mostly refugees from? Syria? and? Afghanistan.
Like anyone who has experienced the Lord’s
grace, our local brothers and sisters wanted
to reach out to these people, but didn’t know
how. Neither did we. We prayed about it and
decided the best thing to do was to give the
refugees food and sanitary items with a sticker
on them with a simple statement of the
Gospel and our website. Many of the migrants
have mobile phones and here and there, there
is free wifi access- our hope was and is that
Thank you ...
