The
devastating four year civil war in Syria has resulted in the largest
humanitarian disaster in the last 20 years in the Middle East, but we are seeing God work amidst this destruction to bring
help and healing. Through this time, many Sunni Muslims, Alawites, and
Druze have become more open to hearing about the hope found in the
gospel! Hundreds
of thousands of refugees are fleeing to neighboring countries, such as Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey in search of relief. We are privileged to partner with believers in these countries who are waiting with open arms to meet the physical and spiritual needs of these refugees. We have an incredible opportunity to make an impact! Let's pray for peace to come to Syria, that the Lord would strengthen His workers, and together let's help provide for these refugees!
