Refugee Relief in Adaševci, Serbia
January 1, 2023 – December 29, 2023

Located on a highway near the border of Croatia, OM is providing help for the refugees in the One Stop Center “Adaševci” with their ‘Tea Tent’ and the camp laundry. 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.

Our goal 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.
