Helping Refugees with German

Our teammate, Werner offered a German class in the month of January to refugees in one of the houses. One of the families had just arrived in Austria and were not even able to spell their names in the latin alphabet. Linda (our new teammate from Australia) has come alongside of this family several times now to help them with some of these basic language needs. Last week I went along together with visitors from one of our supporting churches. ...If you only knew how funny this sounds for english speakers to be teaching German!! ...We are either "fools for Christ" or God is truly using the "weak" in his Kingdom work. Either way, it is amazing how little it takes to reach out to and serve refugees.
(Since posting this the family has been transferred to another house about 20 km away. Unfortunately this will make it harder for Linda to keep up her contact with these refugees.)
