refugees who reach refugees


The Fellowship of Christian Refugees team (FCR) has a vision to empower and equip refugees for ministry. The vision in a nutshell is to reach the nations through refugees. If we can give Christ to refugees, then refugees will take Christ into all the world. The team leader for FCR, Nana (holding the child) recently visited several refugees who are part of FCR and its network. The FCR community pictured live in a building with about 60 refugees in a remote part of Austria. Tony is the leader of this FCR community (first on the left). The community began when Tony became aware of the needs of some of his fellow refugees in the house. He began to sell newspapers on the street corners in a city a couple hours of traveling distance away. With this money, he bought food and even cooked for those in need. Tony's witness of love and service was so powerful that a number of refugees from places like Georgia, Azerbaijan and Chechnya began to meet with the FCR group. Tony's Christ-like love has drawn these refugees in who otherwise would have no interest in a Christian group.
