Faith That Never Slept: The Church That Protected a Refugee Family πππ
In the heart of the Netherlands, something extraordinary happened β an act of compassion that stretched across 96 days and nights. βͺπ« When a refugee family faced deportation after years of building a life in the country, a small Dutch church decided to do something no one expected: they held a continuous church service β without stopping β for more than three months to protect them. β€οΈ
Under Dutch law, police are not allowed to enter a place of worship during an active religious service. So the congregation of Bethel Church in The Hague found a way to turn faith into shelter. ππ‘ Pastors, priests, and volunteers from across the country took turns β day and night β ensuring the service never ended. Hymns were sung, prayers were whispered, and hearts stayed united for nearly 2,300 hours straight. ππ
Their selfless act became a symbol of hope, humanity, and solidarity. In the end, the government granted the family permission to stay β a victory not just for one family, but for the power of compassion over bureaucracy. ππ
This story reminds us that faith isnβt just about words or rituals β itβs about standing up for one another when the world turns away. ποΈ
