Church Holds Continuous Worship Service To Prevent Family’s Deportation

After hearing that a refugee family faced imminent deportation, a Netherlands church sprung into action ― and members have continued stepping up for over one month.

The Protestant Church The Hague, a local branch of the nationwide Protestant Church in the Netherlands (Protestantse Kerk), has taken dramatic steps to protect the Tamrazyans, an Armenian family of five asylum-seekers who have lived in the Netherlands for nine years. The government has reportedly denied the family’s asylum request and approved them for deportation ― even though there’s a law in place that allows children who have lived in the country for over five years to be eligible for a residence permit, if they also fulfill other requirements. The Tamrazyans applied for a permit under that law and were denied, according to the church.

Knowing that Dutch law prevents police officers from entering houses of worship during religious services, church members decided to hold a nonstop worship service at Bethel, a church and community center in The Hague. This meant that the Tamrazyans would be able to take shelter in the church.

The continuous worship service started on Oct. 26 at 1:30 p.m. ― and it hasn’t stopped since.

Most nights, I like to play a game called, “How many times will I let this book I’m reading fall on my face before I admit defeat and go to sleep?”
