You. Caring for Pastors and Ministry Workers in Syria
Syria is currently home to the worst humanitarian crisis in world history. Hundreds of thousands have lost their lives, while millions have been pushed from their homes. The church of Jesus Christ has also suffered great loss and persecution during this horrific six-year conflict. To come alongside and encourage the body of Christ in Syria we recently supported a gathering that was hosted by one of our ministry partners for church leaders and pastors. This time was set aside to equip these kingdom warriors through worship, prayer, fellowship and an extended time together in God’s Word.
One of our friends in Syria reports: “The retreat came at the perfect time for all 120 workers who arrived from the front lines. It's hard to fathom how physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted these precious servants of the Lord were. There is no place to go in Syria to escape that war. There are just places that are less intense. It was the first time that leaders from a Christian background, Sunni Muslim background, Druze background, and Alawite background gathered together.”
