Missionary Work with Refugees from Poland

CZERWONY BÓR, Poland — January 23, 2025

In a quiet hall in northeastern Poland, a group of refugees gathered around tables set with dishes from around the world—warm plates of rice, bread, and stews reminiscent of home. They had come from different countries and backgrounds, carrying with them stories of hardship and displacement. But on this day, they were united by a different narrative—one of hope.

The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, a religious movement that has positioned itself as a voice for the marginalized, hosted a conference aimed at offering spiritual and emotional support to refugees. The event, held in Czerwony Bór on January 23, was not just a meeting but a message—one of inclusivity, resilience, and the belief that dignity is a right, not a privilege.

“We wanted to create a space where refugees could feel seen, heard, and valued,” said one of the event’s organizers. “Our faith teaches us that every individual carries a divine light within them, and it is our duty to nurture that light, especially in those who have faced great challenges.”

The conference was designed to be both practical and uplifting. Volunteers handed out brochures detailing the core teachings of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, emphasizing its commitment to peace and human dignity. Attendees were invited to engage in discussions, ask questions, and learn more about the faith’s principles of compassion and unity.

For many of the refugees, the gathering was more than just an introduction to a religious philosophy—it was a rare moment of warmth in the midst of uncertainty.

“This event reminded me that there is still kindness in the world,” said one attendee, who had fled conflict in his home country. “It gave me a sense of peace and belonging that I haven’t felt in a long time.”

Over the past years, the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light has expanded its outreach, often stepping in where traditional aid organizations fall short. The group has sought to bridge the gap between spiritual support and humanitarian assistance, particularly for those who have been displaced due to war, persecution, or economic instability.

At the conference, stories were shared, hands were shaken, and a communal meal was served—a small but profound gesture of hospitality that, for a brief moment, transcended borders and suffering.

As the event came to a close, organizers reaffirmed their commitment to continuing their outreach efforts, pledging to support refugees not just through words, but through sustained action.
