Camp Ministry For Refugees
Helping believers step into the future
Vision Introduction
In the refugee camps of Greece, every face carries a story of loss, endurance, and the quiet strength that only grace can give.
We are called to walk beside these communities, not as strangers bringing answers, but as brothers and sisters sharing the road.
Here, in the midst of hardship, God is already at work in small acts of kindness, in shared bread, in the courage to begin again.
We hope to create spaces where dignity is restored, where faith can breathe, and where hope takes root even in the dust.
This work is not only about aid. It’s about presence, standing together as one family in Christ, trusting that new life can rise even in the hardest places.
The Camp at Dusk
The sun sinks slowly over rows of white tents and shipping containers in a refugee camp in Greece. The air carries a mixture of children’s laughter, the smell of cooking fires, and the low murmur of conversations in Arabic, Farsi, and Kurdish. Here, thousands of men, women, and children wait, caught between the memories of home they fled and the uncertainty of what lies ahead.
It is in this fragile space that our mission team has been walking — offering friendship, practical support, and the hope of Christ.

Refugees arrive here after journeys marked by danger:
crossing seas in overcrowded boats, walking for days through forests, or surviving the chaos of border checkpoints. Many have lost homes, loved ones, or entire communities.
Daily life in the camp is marked by long lines for food, waiting for documents, and the struggle of raising children in crowded, temporary shelters. The physical needs are urgent, but so too are the emotional scars of trauma, fear, and displacement. -
The essence of our work
lies not in grand gestures, but in small, consistent acts of love that ensure people feel seen and valued. This is most tangible on distribution days, when families gather to receive essential aid like food packages, hygiene kits, and clothing. The gratitude we witness often transcends mere words, showing up instead as the profound, relieved smiles of parents who are now able to provide for their children that night. Simultaneously, we cultivate community and spiritual care through our weekly activities.
In our weekly Bible circles, men and women from diverse backgrounds sit side by side, sharing Scripture in their native languages, creating a soft murmur of prayers that crosses cultural and linguistic boundaries. Just as essential is the support we offer the youngest in our care: at the children’s corner, we see laughter breaking through the weight of trauma. Here, children engage in simple, joyful acts, coloring pictures of “home,” listening to sermons, and enthusiastically singing worship songs, reaffirming their value and fostering a sense of belonging.. -
The needs remain overwhelming.
Overcrowded shelters, limited healthcare, and restricted access to education make daily life difficult. Many families are stuck in limbo for months, even years, waiting for paperwork or asylum approval. Trauma among children is deep, and resources for healing are scarce.
Yet in these challenges, we also see God opening doors — opportunities for long-term discipleship, for education that builds confidence, and for relationships that bring dignity. -
We are committed to walking with these communities for the long journey ahead. Our next steps include:
● Expanding the children’s program to reach more young refugees with safe spaces for learning and healing
● Training local leaders to lead Bible studies and provide pastoral care within the camps
● Exploring ways to help families begin integration projects in Greek society
