Journey Overview
This support that OM offers is mainly networking, giving the people a safe place and something to do, while offering some tea to the refugees and engaging into conversations with them. Another ministry that OM does until the end of May is providing English and Greek classes for free, as well as trauma counseling. Since people are not allowed to go into the refugee camps anymore in Greece, the people inside those camps face even more challenges. To provide help and relief for them, OM goes right to the entrance of the camp and offers various support.
What To Expect
The ministry field is Malakasa Camp very close to Athens. The volunteer accompanies the ministry leader to those camps, gets to know the people visiting for tea, language class, or simply company. Slowly it is expected that the volunteer shows own initiative concerning evangelism during those meetings, class organisation and further tasks.
