Updates from Europe

We have been hearing great stuff about Germany's continuing support and welcome for refugees.  We understand that they are resettling families in towns all over the country at the astounding rate of 3000 people A DAY !!!

That said, the needs continue to be astronomical.  Here is a comment we read in an email from a church member in England :

There is very very little support at these camps. There is very little publicity of what is happening. The group I am part of was there earlier this week and there was no money for providing food to people, new refugees were arriving by the day straight off boats and overland without shoes. Completely desitute. A shocking experience. Support for the 10,000 people now living in these camps is provided on an entirely voluntary basis. It is a humanitarian crisis.

Knowing the need is great, I wanted to give you an idea of how much the Church has been doing.  This is a partial list of individual projects by country where donations of money and service have been given in the last few months.  Projects vary from building a kitchen to service an entire camp, to providing diapers, to members assembling and delivering thousands of hygiene kits.
