Praying with Refugees This section of the website offers readers an opportunity to reflect and pray on the good and evil which happens in the world. As we meet and work with refugees who have confronted evil and suffering, it is important to remind them and ourselves as well to keep in touch with God, the source of all good and love. This is the only way to withstand evil. View Campaign >>> |
