The leader of St Michael’s Church in the so called ‘Jungle’ refugee camp in Calais has said that he no longer wants to get into the UK and believes God has put him in the camp for a reason, it was reported in August.
Mima, from Ethiopia, says he's happy to stay and support the thousands who are living at the camp. ‘Maybe Jesus has brought me [here]. For me it’s better than to go to England.’
In a message to British Christians, Mima called for support. He said: ‘If you can, come and visit us and see. If you can't do that – pray. Pray for the immigrant people ... the ones who are dying on the Mediterranean Sea, those who are dying on the train station when they try to go to England.’
