Enabling Christians in Serving Refugees (ECSR) had a great conference in September, as reported by http://rhp-europe.net/:
ECSR held its second national conference in September 2007. The conference planning team worked hard on the publicity, organisation and finances to make this conference a reality. The first day saw 120 delegates attend while 90 delegates attended on the second day. Delegates came from all over the UK and one of the main feedbacks was the unique opportunity to meet other Christians working with asylum seekers and refugees. It was an inspiring time of listening, sharing and encouraging one another.
The conference looked at three main aspects: Right Receiving, Relevant Reach Out, and Real Integration.
RHP’s own, Marco Vermin from Netherlands gave a thought provoking talk on being Jesus to refugees amongst us and the importance to reach out.
There was also a wonderful celebration of cultures through an evening concert led by four Christian refugee communities from Liberia, Burma, Eritrea and Congo. This was a real highlight and was well received by everyone. One delegate remarked ‘It was like looking forward to what heaven might be!’
