Secular Jewish Refugees Discover the Living God
A Jewish refugee couple from Russia was not interested in hearing more about Christ after they attended an evangelistic event in Israel, but they did accept an invitation to participate in a marriage seminar. A native ministry based in Israel offered the seminar as part of its effort to meet needs in the community.
Native Missionaries Desperate to Help Syrian Refugees
Winter is slowly killing Syrian refugees in Turkey, and native missionaries are praying for help. “Refugees are physically weaker now, as we can see just from looking at them,” a native ministry leader said, adding that cancer is increasing due to the harsh conditions. “Their already weakened bodies will not get enough food, and some of them may not survive the winter”
Christian Answer to a Muslim Prayer
A Muslim mother of three trying to bring her family from Syria to Lebanon across snowy mountains feared they would freeze to death if they stopped moving. Even with the help of a paid guide to smuggle them into the country, the refugee family was blocked – snow had piled up on a road through the border area’s windy mountains. Her exhausted children, who had been hearing only sharp commands to keep moving or else they would freeze to death, were relieved to get a rest. At first.
Bravery and Sacrifice in the Face of Death
Abdel, a young man in a Middle Eastern country, knew something was wrong when his mother showed up at his apartment with a checkbook in one hand and a burial cloth in the other. It had deeply wounded her when Abdel told her he had left Islam to become a Christian. He knew that embracing Christ would mean being shunned by his family.
