Greetings from Greece!

Yesterday was our last official day at Moria. We were assigned the family units again and our team was divided over the three levels. We noticed at least one bus arrive with new refugees which means they are still coming over. A few of these families were assigned the family units. Some were family members to those already in the camp. It truly is a blessing that God has us here to witness such joy when these families are reunited and they can celebrate the safe travels of their loved ones. 

We were also blessed to see families granted asylum papers, pack up their little belongings and say their goodbyes to the friend they have made at the camp. There are tears but they are tears of joy. They celebrate with each other's success even though they are left behind for now.  It is so good to see hope on these faces!

Muhannan, our friend from our first shift in the camp, had his family called down to the office yesterday. He is trying to get to Germany with his mother and three sisters to be reunited with his father. They were processed and will be leaving the camp today! His smile stretched from ear to ear, he was on cloud nine! We sent him off with a little care package as well as a copy of the book of John in Arabic- a little reading for his journey.

We had a great day in the camp. It was peaceful and calm; a good day. As the day came to an end, we had many tearful goodbyes. So hard to leave our friends not knowing what their future holds or if we will ever see them again this side of heaven. We leave them believing that the seeds we planted in faith and obedience will be come to harvest. It is our sincere prayer that as they journey to a safe place to call home, God will bring other believers to come alongside them and continue the work that God started with us.

Make no mistake, God is doing BIG things in this camp. When most of the NGO's (non-governmental organizations) pulled out on March 20, the volunteers left here to run the camp are all believers. Let that soak in...every volunteer these refugees come in contact with are followers of Christ. There are copies of the New Testament and the book of John in both Arabic and Farsi to give out freely. A Bible study has started meeting each night in the camp and they have shown the Jesus film to select individuals. Pray that as things continue to change in the camp and as aid organizations begin to return that this will not change, that EuroRelief continues to run the family units. Pray that opportunities to share the Gospel will continue to present themselves.

Thank you so much for praying for our team. God has done immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine.

The A team
