Showing Jesus and His love—4

We have an apartment for you!
 One of the most effective outreaches to Muslims is to help them find an apartment and assistance in getting papers    We have visited several of these apartments in Athens.  These are called “houses of hope.” Christian organizations have been able to purchase large houses with multiple apartments. Most of the tenants are Muslim.
One family made we met was from Syria and were Muslim. The Christian worker who has helped them brings their children to his church to help with sports and other jobs. other Christians connected with the church reach out to them and pray for them.
 Next door to them was a family of Iranian Christians. Their stories are hard to hear.  One of the daughters got to Serbia and had to walk for two days to get to Greece, lost and without food and water. She now has to report to the police every week as if she is a common criminal.
 Her mother was put in jail for several weeks. They and rainy and Pastor who looks after them went to see her once and had to tell her that God had a purpose for her there behind bars. When he told us that story the mother just being rude. She is a witness for the love of Jesus
