Support Persecuted Brothers and Sisters![]()

Russia has countries beyond Ukraine in its sights these days …
“In recent weeks,” reported International Christian Concern (ICC), “Russian forces have executed airstrikes in multiple Christian-majority villages in the Idlib province of northwestern Syria.”
And, as LRI has reported in years past, this is not the first time our fellow believers in Syria have faced such suffering.
“Estimates hold that these Russian airstrikes are responsible for at least 1,400 civilian deaths over the last seven years,” ICC added. “These latest civilian casualties in Syria once again place Christians in the path of ongoing warfare in the country.”
Syria has also been troubled by civil war and Islamic oppression for years—which means the country’s believers, especially those living along the Syria-Turkey border, are continually plagued with violence, abuse and displacement.
LRI’s Christ-centered partners are dedicated to strengthening the Church in Syria, across the Middle East and beyond …
But your support is vital … Your generosity and prayers are a lifeline to our persecuted brothers and sisters!
Every donation from caring friends like you translates into:
Tangible help and hope.
Emergency food, water and shelter.
Medical care.
Trauma counseling.
Discipleship training for new believers.
Bibles and Bible study materials.
And more!
Christians in Syria—and many other nations—are some of the most vulnerable members of society.
Please reach out to them today with the hands of Christ.
Thanks for responding … for praying for the persecuted … and for being a beacon of hope to believers everywhere.
