Aid
from an indigenous ministry in Turkey for Syrian refugees not only
brings smiles to otherwise despairing mothers but helps keep families
together. Refugees fleeing atrocities of the six-year war in Syria are
so desperate for income to feed their families that they resort to
handing their daughters to nightclubs as sex slaves; after one month,
payments to parents dwindle or stop altogether, and their daughters may
be trafficked elsewhere, according to an indigenous ministry director in
Turkey. He recently heard a Syrian refugee, a grandmother, speak of
parents losing their children this way. “As I explained that God loves
her and her family so much that He will not forsake them, she was deeply
touched,” he said. “Just then two or three other older women came to me
saying they lost their daughters, too. So I prayed for each one of
them.” Besides vitamins, formula, milk, medicines, clean water and food,
indigenous ministry teams are bringing the hope of Christ to torn
families. “This isn’t just because of the financial support coming to
us, but also due to your faithful prayer support,” the director said.
“God is answering prayer!”
