This year again we had the privilege to celebrate the international Women´s Day with our beautiful friends from Ukraine and two days later with other friends from the homeless community.
As Luke 14,13-14 says: ''But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.''
The atmosphere on Saturday with Ukrainian women was very special. A lot of food we couldn´t even finish, kids laughing and running around, but most importantly very open hearts rejoicing to be able to share with one another. To share their personal victories, losses, worries and dreams for the future. Most of them asked for prayer and we had a beautiful ministry time. We were reminded about Galatians 6,2 to carry each other´s burdens to fulfill the law of Christ.
Two days later, on Monday we met with three homeless ladies and one man ;) From drinking coffee, eating snacks we got to talk about their challenges of living on the streets, being robbed constantly, having health issues to actually praying for a young lady having a huge tumor in her abdomen. She refused surgery, so we told her about the Healer, prayed earnestly and believe for a miracle!
After more tea and coffee they picked various cosmetic products as presents and some of them received hand massage and nail polishing, No matter whether we are rich or poor, living in our home countries or as refugees, we all need love, we all need hope and we all need friends. We all need JESUS above everything else.
