Comfort Syrian Christians with Christ’s Tangible Love

After more than 1,500 people (and counting) have been tragically killed as the result of violent unrest and attacks in Syria, Open Doors UK reports:

“The recent events have reminded many traumatised Syrians of the horrifying times when so-called Islamic State (IS) invaded the country more than ten years ago. ‘All Christians I know now want to leave the country,’ says a source in western Syria. ...

“‘In recent days, Syria has witnessed a dangerous escalation of violence, brutality and killings, resulting in attacks on innocent civilians, including women and children,’ said the three patriarchs of the biggest churches in Syria in a joint statement. ‘Homes have been violated, their sanctity disregarded and properties looted — scenes that starkly reflect the immense suffering endured by the Syrian people.’”

Please, friend, reach out to our brothers and sisters in need of compassion and support today.

First, pray fervently that the violence will end and that God will keep His people safe.

Second, give generously to empower our local, Christ-centered partners there, and elsewhere, to provide spiritual and emotional support to the suffering … the ones who need it most.

“This is what the Lord Almighty said:

‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.

Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor.’”

(Zech. 7:9-10)

Thank you for your prayers, your kindness, and your generosity for Christians who have nowhere else to turn.

In His service,

Mat Staver
