I can't imagine how hard it would be as a refugee - to adjust to a completely different culture with so many challenges. I overheard some kids mocking one of the girls as they found out she was an 11 year old in Year 2 at school.Being at the weekend away was a privilege to be able to serve God in this way and show the refugee kids the love of Christ. It was such a joy to meet these kids as it was them who showed love to me. From the moment I arrived I was welcomed with smiling faces. They literally latched onto me and excitedly tried to get to know me.
The real highlight for me was being able to see the Sudanese family I met during Project M. I was able to catch up with them (we bonded over hair extensions) and in the afternoon I took one of the girls out canoeing which was lovely. These kids really just need someone to love them and continue to show love to them and it was very encouraging to see International Teams doing God's work in this.
I encourage all 645ers to consider getting involved in the future.
