God's love for the lost, broken and downtrodden

OM International
English/Español

Struggling with a mental handicap, Gezim* once was imprisoned for killing another man. Others living in his building fluctuate between fear and pity for this man. Having been cast down and tortured his entire life, he struggles to simply live. In seeking to live Jesus’ love out for the downcast, OM Kosovo has crossed the threshold of his room multiple times to clean and sanitise in a small way. Though reality stands that these sacrificial actions may never bear fruit, prayer abounds that God’s love will penetrate the darkest parts of his heart.

Mirjeta* has four children who still live with her and the man who is occasionally the dad and husband he should be. Having some physical problems herself, her children all struggle with disabilities, from being mute to slightly crippled. Many of the medical problems that plague her family have simple cures. But, since the family earns part of their income from salvaging dumpsters throughout the city, it is hard for them to afford even the simplest of things.

Pray for the OM team as they continue to reach out to the lost, broken, abused and downtrodden in Kosovo, and that those whose lives they touch would be changed and Jesus be made known to them.

EL AMOR DE DIOS PARA LOS PERDIDOS, QUEBRANTADOS Y OPRIMIDOS - Kosovo
Luchando con un retrazo mental, Gezim* estuvo preso por matar a un hombre. Quienes viven en su edificio fluctúan entre tenerle miedo y lástima. Despreciado y torturado toda su vida, él lucha tan solo por sobrevivir. Buscando vivir el amor de Dios por los despreciados, OM Kosovo ha cruzado el umbral de su habitación muchas veces para limpiar y ayudarlo en una manera simple. Aunque parece que estos actos de sacrificio nunca tendrán frutos, las oraciones abundan para que el amor de Dios penetre las oscuridades de su corazón.

Mirjeta* tiene cuatro hijos que aun viven con ella y con el hombre que ocasionalmente es el papá y esposo que debería ser. Ella tiene algunos problemas físicos y todos sus hijos tienen alguna discapacidad, desde mudos hasta algunos con pequeñas discapacidades. Muchos de los problemas médicos que plagan su familia tienen curas simples. Pero dado que la familia gana parte de su sustento de recoger escombros en la ciudad, es difícil para ellos afrontar aún las cosas más simples.

Ora para que el equipo de OM pueda continuar en la tarea de alcanzar a los perdidos, quebrantados, abusados y oprimidos en Kosovo, y para que las vidas que sean tocadas también sean cambiadas y Jesús sea conocido por ellos.
