Ministry in the United Kingdom & Europeย ranges from being a part of mobilising offices, to teaching in Bible colleges to being involved in work among the African Diaspora across the continent.
In 2015 more than one million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe. Many are fleeing the war in Syria, or escaping the aftermath of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but there has also been a steep increase in the amount of migrants from Africa. Some are moving for economic reasons, some are escaping political oppression, and others are seeking to avoid religious persecution. Whilst illegal migration makes up a large proportion of those migrants entering Europe, Africans are also here as students or as international employees, responding to the demand that Europe has for both skilled and unskilled labour. Ultimately, thousands of Africans are journeying every month, in search of work and a better life.
Lorsque Joseph* est arrivรฉ ร la frontiรจre zambienne aprรจs avoir couru et marchรฉ toute la nuit, il ne pouvait mรชme pas rรฉflรฉchir. Son esprit รฉtait engourdi. Il priait sans mots, se demandant s’il reverrait un jour sa femme.
Nous ne travaillons avec les rรฉfugiรฉs que depuis peu de temps, nous ne prรฉtendons donc pas รชtre des experts, mais nous avons appris quelques petites choses en cours de route jusqu’ร prรฉsent…
J’ai rejoint une รฉquipe qui travaillait dรฉjร auprรจs de la diaspora africaine. Ils travaillent particuliรจrement avec les immigrรฉs d’Afrique du Nord ; des personnes qui sont arrivรฉes en tant quโรฉtrangers voire rรฉfugiรฉs et qui ont grandement besoin de connaรฎtre lโamour de Jรฉsus. La tรขche est immense, mais le Seigneur mโa rappelรฉe quโIl nous demande de venir ร Lui avec nos 5 pains et nos 2 poissons. Cโest Lui qui multiplie, qui fait fructifier selon sa grรขce !
Do you want to train in cross-cultural mission in Europe?
Political instability in Africa has meant that South Africa is one of the countries where many refugees go. Zara* works with a community from East Africa where most women do not speak English, yet their children go to the local schools.ย
Could you befriend and witness to people from African unreached people groups living in France?
