Djibouti

They come because they want to leave. Those who want to leave Africa for the Arabian Peninsula or Southeast Asia almost inevitably pass through Djibouti, but often not very quickly. For numerous travelers get stuck here for months and years until the modalities of entry into their destination countries are clarified.

We have intensified our contacts with a local Christian community that we have been supporting for years. People regularly find their way to the Christian faith. Mainly from the Ethiopian exile community and those in transit - but increasingly also from the local population. It is obvious that the continuous migration of people is detrimental to continuous community development. Instead of being discouraged, however, the bold vision is for Djibouti, the land of transit, to become a »throughput heater«. People come, meet Jesus and travel on burning for him.
