A Syrian mother receives diapers, Christian literature and other items
at a ministry center for refugees in Jordan after fleeing the effects of
civil war in her home country. Ministries supported by Christian Aid
Mission come alongside Syrian families caught in the crossfire with a
caring ear, health care, prayer and even song. One well-to-do woman from
Syria, whose husband could no longer work after being shot at the
waist, wept as she told how she had not had contact with one of her twin
sons for a year after he was imprisoned in Syria. A ministry team sang a
song of blessing and prayed for her. Another refugee, an Islamic
teacher, told how he ended up at the Christian refugee center: “When I
arrived in Jordan, I went directly to mosques and related organizations
to seek help, but all I got was persecution and rejection.” He later met
ministry team members beside a church building. “Then we started to
talk to him about what God had put on our hearts for refugees,” the
ministry director said. “He was overwhelmed. We started to visit him and
shared the gospel and prayed with him.”
