Friends
My
heart has been deeply moved by the stories of tragedy and loss coming out of
Syria. I feel called to travel with a team to Jordan shortly after Christmas to
help bring hope to Syrian refugees.
What
started in March 2011 as a small, localized street protest in Syria against the
Assad government, has dramatically escalated into a civil war. The total death
toll is believed to be over 27,000 and a significant number of those who lost
their lives are religious minorities including Christians. Continued rising
violence in Syria has driven over 2 million innocent civilians to seek refuge
in neighboring countries. Thousands of people cross Syria’s borders every day
only to find refuge in desperate conditions.
The
crisis of millions of displaced Syrians has compelled All Nations into action. A
window of opportunity has
opened for us to bring hope to these distraught lives. We are assembling a team
to go to Jordan just after Christmas, with Shelby, being asked to join. The team of 7 will work with a
local church to visit Syrian refugees, bless them with desperately needed food
parcels and other items, and bring hope and encouragement. If it is on your
heart to help us bring much needed hope to the refugees, you can donate to for
the following items:
·
Food package for one
family for a week ($40)
·
Shoes and clothing ($25)
·
Medicine ($15)
·
Heaters ($50) to survive
the winter
Thank
you in advance for partnering with us to bring hope to Syrian refugees and make
an impact for the Kingdom.
