The outreach continues to expand. A Language Café WhatsApp group was set up to facilitate the growing sense of community. A monthly lunch, where everyone brings food related to their culture, is a huge success! Additionally, a sewing and knitting group meeting around the same time has joined the lunch.
Spiritual growth is a wonderful result of these efforts. Four new people have started attending church from the Language Café. Three are from a small but unique religious and ethnic group. They are watching the JESUS Film with the Bible study group and are happy to learn more about Jesus.
A young woman from Morocco who attended a Bible study for nearly two years has become a Christian! She had a dream and suddenly experienced the peace and assurance of Jesus Christ while someone was praying for her.
The group also worked with a man from another North African country and was thrilled when, out of the blue, he shared that he had accepted Christ. He said, “When I attend church services, I experience a deep peace.” Even though he was moved to a different refugee camp further from the church, he uses public transportation to attend Sunday services. He is now considering baptism.
