We had recently published a how-to with our process for making durable, reusable cloth face masks. These aren’t the kind you make with a T-shirt and rubber bands! These are meant to last a long time. We just uploaded a short 10-minute video going through the entire process to make this…(Read More)
Good morning everybody. As the USA closes down and braces for what could be the toughest week yet in the COVID-19 pandemic, we too are entering the 22nd day of lockdown in the Middle East.

There’s no question life, and refugee relief work, is suddenly very different in the Middle East now being under strict quarantine measures. Like in the West, public gatherings are banned and churches closed. Personal visitations are curtailed as well. A highly social culture is grinding to a halt.

Multiple winter storms have hit our area of the Middle East in recent weeks, creating new challenges for the refugees we work with.

Other than a small outbreak of flu and strep throat, we’ve not had much in the way of major new medical cases these past two weeks, other than one of the preemies we helped having breathing issues. There’s been a lot of changes with some existing needs that we’ve already posted about…(Read More)
Last week, we had 6 babies born in one day! The Lord answered prayer for safe deliveries, and all the women made it to the hospital before delivering too.
