Well, we finished our first "dayshift" working in Moria. Our scheduled time was from 8AM - 4PM. This time included passing out two meals and lots of time interacting with the people in the camp. We were able to build some significant relationships with families and children. Each of the team members had a significant memory created. Things like discussions with young men who speak enough English to carry on a conversation. Learning incredible details of their past as well as incredible hopes for their future. Lots of time playing with the kids which puts a wide smile on the parents faces. Also, helping a new family settle in and praying with the mother. A team member also got close to a mother who shared her journey's story from the time her husband was killed by the Taliban up to today and finding herself in Moria. We also saw other volunteers, the larger body of Christ, minister the love of Jesus as we worked side by side in the effort to care for up to 1000 souls housed in the family unit alone.
God is working in this incredible migration of Muslim people. Those that pass through these refugee camps are seeing a glimpse of Jesus as seeds are being planted. Planted by the "body of Christ" the church. Many churches, denominations, and organizations pulling together to do what Jesus himself would have done were he walking this earth today.
Please keep praying, we have 5 more days on the Island.
All our best to you, the April team!
