The purpose of this mission is to serve the refugees and show the love of Jesus, through provision of a space where they can come and hang out, drink tea or coffee together or play table tennis and play other games.
Located on a highway near the border of Croatia, OM is providing help for the refugees in Adaševci Refugee Camp. OM's ‘Tea Tent’ in the camp is a space for the refugees to come and pass time, play games, relax and chat with our volunteers. You will be involved in providing drinks in the OM tea tent, keeping the tent area clean, working in the camp laundry, socializing with refugees, and sharing Christ’s love with them while respecting the rules of the camp.
Serving in the camp includes practical service, doing laundry for the refugees, making and serving tea and coffee, general duties involved in running the tea tent and laundry and to spend time with the refugees sharing our faith in Jesus Christ. When there is time, there is opportunity to play sports with the refugees, organise games or crafts or even do some informal language lessons.
We need volunteers all the time and are very flexible with dates and length of stay.
