Dear brothers and sisters,

I am reaching out with an unusual and urgent request.

Over the past months, I have been in contact with a group of normally poor people who are being held in three prison camps. According to the information I have received, they are trapped there because of unpaid debts related either to medical treatment or to migration journeys arranged through smugglers.

The information I could check turned out to be true.

In total, around 60 to 70 people are being held. 2 contact persons report severe mistreatment, violence, and daily abuse. Their situation is desperate, and they see little hope of escape without outside help.

Among them are approximately 60 believers in Jesus Christ. Many of them came to faith while in captivity. Some were formerly Muslims, others atheists. Their testimonies often speak of answered prayers, healing, protection, and encounters with God's love in the darkest circumstances.

Several months ago, I began helping where I could. Through personal sacrifice and financial support, I was able to assist some individuals, including my brother Traian, who was successfully released from one of these camps. I remain in contact with him and with others who are still imprisoned.

Today, however, I have reached the limits of my own financial resources.

I have asked the Lord several questions:

1. I have already given away everything I had. You could give some of it back to me so that I can continue helping.
2. Is this story really true?
3. Do You really want me to do this?
4. 
   

I also told Him:

"I do not want to involve other brothers and sisters in this matter. I ask You to provide the money in another way. 'Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.'"

Yet the answer I received repeatedly was:

"Ask your brothers. Free My people."

(meaning: ask other brothers and sisters for help)

After much prayer, I believe that God is asking me not to carry this burden alone but to invite other brothers and sisters to prayerfully consider helping

How You Can Help

I am looking for believers with generous hearts who may be willing to:

1. Provide a long-term loan of €39,000 (due to July 2 or not long after)
2. Support a second funding phase expected around the end of August 2026.
3. Contribute financially in any amount.
4. Share this request with others who may be able to help.
5. Pray and seek God's guidance regarding this situation.
6. 
   

The planned repayment of the loan would be between Euro 1,300 and Euro 1,700 per month.

Transparency

I understand that this story may sound extraordinary.

I would encourage everyone to prayerfully and carefully examine the information before making any decision.

Further information, supporting details, and contact information for Traian, who was personally held in one of the camps and later released, can be provided to serious supporters who would like to learn more.

A Personal Request

My deepest desire is to help men and women who are suffering and to respond faithfully to what I believe God is asking of me.

If this appeal touches your heart, I would be grateful for your prayers, your advice, your support, or your willingness to share it with others.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

May the Lord bless you 

With gratitude and hope,

Roland Kappeler

to my person:

My name is Roland, 63 years and I live in Zurich, Switzerland.

I'm a former atheist and since 2007 believer in Jesus. He completely changed my life.

Never would do and live what I live without Him.

Jesus is bringing many people in my lIfe who are in difficult conditions: Homeless, migrants, refugees, captives, sick people and doing many amazing things. "I came to heal (and help) the broken hearted."
