Time is running out, quickly passing us… Its already the spring of this new year.
The atmosphere here is very tough. Materialism captures the minds of not only the local population but also immigrants. We continue the ministry for refugees from Africa and the Middle East. Recently we see many refugees from Eritrea and we need the Gospel tracts in English, Arabic, and Farsi. Some of them live in a refugee camp, others are on the street, or under bridges. They have a lot of time, so we want to give them to read and want to please them with giving them material in their own language.
They live very poorly, especially those who are under the bridges. They live on the streets because they do not want to stay in Italy. They are trying to get to other countries, where their friends or relatives are. Therefore, they do not go to the refugee camp to avoid any registration. The Italians provide for them, but for everything else they are responsible for themselves. We talk with them about the Lord and of course, the majority are Muslims. We compare the Bible and the Koran, ask them the questions of the relativity of Christ or Isa, as they call our Lord
I found a version of the Koran on the Phone, which is translated into Arabic and Russian. The translation is not very good, but it still can help me to make them think critically. Many have questions: was Christ crucified or not? In the Koran there is no clear to answer this, in some verses, it says that He wasn’t, and in others, it says He resurrected.
If you are willing to help with literature or audio devices for refugees, I will be very grateful to you. We urgently need the Gospel in Arabic, Kurdish, Persian, and English.
Blessings to you, thank you for the prayers, I really need them, since in Nice there is a spiritual wall and the enemy does not want to back off from their lines. I thank those who support our ministry.
