You. Comforting Suffering Believers in the Middle East
As The Joshua Fund ministry teams serve our brothers and sisters in the Middle East, we are privileged to come alongside those who suffer on the frontlines of faith. As we share one woman's story, we pray you are encouraged as we see the hope only our Lord can bring in the midst of unspeakable difficulties and trials.
“Her eyes, rimmed red, had the look of a woman who had cried far too many tears. The Syrian widow looked down at her lap, twisting her napkin as she shared her story. After her family was robbed of all their money and valuables, her husband was then brutally murdered by extremists. Her heart ached with a pain so deep from the loss. Although it had happened six months earlier, the image of his body riddled with bullet holes laying on their couch was now permanently etched in her mind. Her children were traumatized, seeing things that no child should ever have to see. All because they are followers of Jesus. This young Christian woman and her four children now live in a safer place, yet husbandless, fatherless and homeless. But not hopeless.”
