Life on Lesbos

 A few pieces of news:
 Arrivals continue. Five boats today, twelve over the weekend.
 Met a man whose wife was “at the beach, said she got wet.” She assisted a boat that had 57 people, 21 children.
 Another guy runs a center that offers safe showers for women. Showers in the camp are definitely not safe.
 One guy says it’s hard to like some of the refugees.  Some can be downright have noxious. But he finds the love of Christ and his heart for them.
 A camp for refugees is designed for 1800 and is now housing around 8000.   Outside the boundaries of the camp is an unofficial camp with about 6000
 Refugees here or at the initial stages of finding asylum. The best form of evangelism seems to be compassion and humanitarian aid showing Christ’s love to a people that have a negative view Christians.

Again, thank you for what you are doing there. Wish I could be there with you in Greece as this country is allowing people to land there as they await asylum. So it seems that more refugees are coming in there as well as trying to get to Italy and Spain. It's extraordinary what is going on. Love and blessings and prayers for you all.
