A Christian pastor in Syria, describing the horrific conditions in the war-torn country, says: “My people are hurting… The Christian
community is the only group that doesn’t fight back or doesn’t protect property with guns. So when the rebels search a place to stay, to use for their battle, they choose the houses and apartments of the softest target – the Christians.”
But, he goes on, “We are here for a divine reason; we trust and rely on our sovereign loving Lord. We believe that we are in the midst of a spiritual war. We thank God because the Church is united across the country in prayer 24 hours a day, seven days a week; praying for the glory of God to dwell in the Church, praying for an end to the bloodshed, praying for peace in the country, praying for keeping the church’s faithful witness, to reach out to
the suffering, to share the divine cure of the gospel, to speak the word of the Lord in all boldness.”
