We would rejoice if there were NO World Refugee Sabbath – because there were NO refugees. Sadly that is not the case, so for the fourth year running, the Trans-European Division, in partnership with the Inter-European Division and ADRA Europe, is highlighting the needs of refugees and migrants in Europe. Our focus this year is Hospitality, based on the words of Hebrews 12:2 “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers…”
Watch our documentary film that brings you fascinating reports from across Europe. Filmed in Germany, a major destination country for many refugees, the programme travels across Europe reporting on numerous projects from other destination countries where refugees are finding a home.
