Prayers for Peacemakers 4 July 2018 Lesvos

Pray for the refugees and volunteers who make a life together at the PIPKA Camp.

Authorities on Lesvos are threatening to shut the camp down for “hygienic” reasons, although these reasons seem to be a front for political motives. PIPKA provides refugees and asylum seekers a more dignified and safer environment than the filthy, chaotic and overcrowded Moria camp.

For more information on the threat to PIPKA see this press release.
