Today I went to a village just outside Vienna called Tulln to visit some Albanian refugees there.
Over a strong coffee they shared with me about how their cases for asylum were doing, and how they were surviving the 'waiting process'. One had found work, most days busy washing dishes, cleaning houses or doing over peoples Ironing. While the other was doing her best to integrate into Austrian culture and make Austrian friends. It has been a long time since Austria has accepted any refugees from Kosovo and despite their best efforts both woman know that their chances of staying in Austria are slim. But their is not much hope for them in Kosovo either.They asked that us as the Oasis team if we could pray for them as they have an interview this Tuesday, that the Austrian Government would look favourably on their cases for Asylum.
I pray more that they will come to know the hope that is too be found in Jesus.
