News from the FYROM border

News from the FYROM border
These past two weeks, I have seen refugees electrocute themselves, sew their mouths sh ut, hunger strike, attack a food truck, trash storage units, riot and more, declaring either let us pass or we will die here at the border.   They are determined to pass and never go back.  One day I talked one young refugee out of committing suicide.  Today, the Greek Police and Frontex border EU force physically removed over 2,000 refugees in an operation called “sweep”.  Today, we cancelled our trip to the border.  Tomorrow, we hope to continue the effort to show God’s love to Syrians, Iraqi, and Afghani refugees longing for new life. We greatly need drivers.  The daily drive to the border and back are wearing us out.  The volunteers all remark how amazing the experience is to help in such a unique, and history changing phenomenon.   Many refugees take Scripture. Many ask for prayer.  Many say thank you. Long term, workers are needed in Athens where it appears refugees are stuck with nowhere to go.  Anyone willing to come and join the effort will make a huge difference. Also, God is calling believers to consider working long-term with the refugees settling in Germany and the rest of Europe.  The crisis has created a remarkable opportunity for Christians to influence for eternity millions of refugees.  After the Paris episodes, some want to cast all foreigners over a cliff just because they look like terrorists.  Jesus said to love your enemies …. and I still believe it. Please consider making a contribution. Pray for the desperate refugees.  May die needlessly.  Reports of sickness are increasing as winter sets in.  Pray for the workers who are tired and weary.  Pray that Christian compassion will touch the hard hearts of desperate souls.
