Refugee
children from Syria play after receiving food and other basic
necessities from a ministry in Lebanon. The indigenous director said the
Beirut-based ministry is committed to bringing the smiles back to
impoverished children's faces by reaching them with the gospel message
of hope, love and salvation. Refugees from war-torn Syria are
increasingly hopeless as they try to survive in Lebanon, but they find
the only hope they have when they discover a saving relationship with
Jesus Christ, he said. He added that the ministry is doing as much as
possible to help them, with some staff members giving even from their
own resources to those in need. "I was sitting next to this Syrian kid,
and I said, ‘Okay, what is your name?' and when he said his name he
began to cry," the director said. "His parents went back to Syria and
left him, and they didn't come back. And this kid was living on the
street alone. I think he was 8 or 9 years old. No one knows where the
family is. We have situations like this that we're addressing."
