Faith That Never Slept: The Church That Protected a Refugee Family 🙏💞🌍

In the heart of the Netherlands, something extraordinary happened — an act of compassion that stretched across 96 days and nights. ⛪💫 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 — without stopping — for more than three months to protect them. ❤️

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. 🙏💡 Pastors, priests, and volunteers from across the country took turns — day and night — ensuring the service never ended. Hymns were sung, prayers were whispered, and hearts stayed united for nearly 2,300 hours straight. 💒🌙

Their selfless act became a symbol of hope, humanity, and solidarity. In the end, the government granted the family permission to stay — a victory not just for one family, but for the power of compassion over bureaucracy. 🌈💖

This story reminds us that faith isn’t just about words or rituals — it’s about standing up for one another when the world turns away. 🕊️
