Syria Emergency Appeal
TOGETHER, WE CAN HELP SYRIANS TORN AND DEVASTATED BY WAR
The war in Syria is now five years old. Few, if any, have been spared its effects. Instead of moderating, it rages on and is intensifying, leaving more and more people homeless, wounded, and even worse. But, the Presbyterian Church is faithfully bringing support and relief to the people.
ALEPPO
In Aleppo, the Presbyterian Church gives blood for the injured, provides water from its well for the neighborhood, and it provides sanctuary. It is faithful.
MHARDEH
In Mhardeh, the Presbyterian Church tries to keep life normal. Rev. Ma’an Bitar continues the kindergarten with 70 children, while its members open their homes to those who have had to flee. It is the light of Christ.
LEBANON
In Lebanon, the Synod of Syria and Lebanon works in refugee camps and has opened four schools for Syrian children, most of whom are Muslim and have not been to school due to war. It is love in Jesus’ name.
