Darkness Turning to Light


Whether gazing into an imagined future or peering into the past, it is hard for even the youngest of refugees from Syria to see beyond the need and affliction they have experienced. Ministries in Turkey are providing heating, clothing and food to people who left everything to escape the barbarities of the Islamic State (ISIS), and with it they are providing Bibles in Arabic and Kurdish to help bring light to the eyes of the oppressed. The director of one ministry to refugees in Turkey notes, “Some of them say, ‘We ran away and came here because of the people who are in our religion, but in here Christians are serving us.’” Thus many refugees are finding wellness and salvation.
