The Horsky Park house now has 30 refugees that will fill the house, some who have arrived and some who will arrive any day now. Currently they are looking for 30 mattresses, at least 20 blankets, with the possibility of a kitchen cabinet and sink. Gary and I went to the City Church Bratislava staff meeting today, where Roman, who runs the home talked about ways that they needed help. The Pastor of City Church, Pasho had also invited Josef, who presented a better approach to organizing help and resources. We then talked about the possibility of City Church renting a large home to house more refugees. One report says there are approximately 114,000 refugees that have entered Slovakia to date. Some are staying but also many have relatives or friends in Germany, Poland or other countries so they stay for a couple days to a week in Slovakia and then travel on. The Horsky Park House is now being designated as a home where people can come to receive the rest and care they need before heading to a more permanent place.
We are looking at this as a marathon, not a sprint. We are praying for a quick end to the war, but much damage has been done and the needs would still be there to help people recover and rebuild for a while. So please continue to pray for peace and pray for healing in every way for those who are suffering from the trauma of this war.
