Prayers for
Peacemakers, July 27, 2016 Europe
Pray for the refugees currently trapped on the Greek island
of Chios. They have waited four months for
their asylum reviews in unsanitary conditions.
Pray also for the member of the Christian Peacemaker Teams-Europe team
member who just found out that his cousin was among the refugees who died
trying to reach Europe in a forest along the Turkish/Bulgarian border. He had to communicate the news of the death
to his family.
