Pray for the Syrians

The world sits in silence as a people mourn their mounting loss. Homes, possessions, dignity, and yet even worse, lives. They fall day and night at the sound of the rockets, bombs, and consistent gunfire. Where does the world stand as Syria falls in bloodshed? Our economies are failing, another protest for another dollar, but what about the people? What about fighting for something that's lasting, something that's eternal? The hearts and souls of men.

God have mercy. Lift Your eyes upon the Syrians and save their souls from destruction. Raise a cry among the nations for the bloodshed to end. Damascus will fall, yet there will be a remnant. Lord, rescue your people. God have mercy.

Many of the Christian Syrians are being targeted by the rebels who are extremist, and the Christian communities are being used as human shields. In addition to this, they lack food, water, and medical treatment. There are some who are trying to help them escape Syria, although the rebel forces are trying to prevent their escape. If you'd like to make a donation to help the persecuted church in Syria, please visit: https://barnabasfund.org/donations/?id=00-1032&appealCode=SYR%2012/12

Pray for the Syrians: the displaced and persecuted. Whether Muslim or Christian, they need our prayers.
