Nothing is Impossible with God

Think there’s no hope for you?

Facing Giants

The Open Door

Our work with Syrian refugees is progressing. The opportunity we have had to build relationships with Syrian refugees of Kurdish descent has changed their outlook on Islam and Christianity. Trust between us and them has created an opportunity for open dialogue. (more…)

Rebranding America

The Real Victims

There isn't much left of Syria today. The destruction to infrastructure is estimated in the billions, the economy has collapsed, and their currency has no value. The devastation to human life extends far beyond material items. Unfortunately both the Regime and Free Syrian Army have participated in the destruction of…

It is hard enough being a teen. But life now is terrible. I played soccer on a club team with my friends back home and loved it. Then the bombings came. We lost cousins, aunts and uncles. Fortunately our family got out. (more…)
