In the midst of different projects and outreach efforts – including the ongoing Syrian quake relief – one of our most important ministries keeps going quietly in the background. From the very beginning of seeking to help refugees and locals out here, we’ve found that medical assistance is often the #1 requested need, and the…(Read More)
My apologies for a very crowded headline on this update! It’s hard enough to fit all that’s going on out here into our daily schedules, much less fit it into a small headline. We’re thankful to be serving with a full plate for the Lord. As it’s been said before by…(Read More)
As we head into the end of a hot and challenging summer, we are thankful that the Lord has brought us through thus far! As anticipated in the spring, this summer was marked by a fluctuating bread crisis due to lack of flour available in the markets. Thankfully, right now there’s enough supply from…(Read More)
We are well into the spring of 2022 and the challenges the Lord brings are many! The economic situation in our host country continues to deteriorate. Rapid hyperinflation and wage depression, along with severe supply disruptions of wheat due to the Ukraine war, are putting everyone – Syrian refugee and local alike – into seriously…(Read More)
We are thankful to share that, for the first time in almost two years, our summer English classes are back open again to the community! We had to pause them during COVID last year much to the disappointment of the children. Despite our prolonged closure it seems interest has not abated. We didn’t know…(Read More)

Each week…(Read More)
We are still plowing forward through a storm-filled winter this year! The mountains are frequently covered in a thick fog during the winter months, often accompanied with sleet or snow higher up in elevation. Even today we had snow and freezing temps up in the mountain areas, with many asking for heating fuel to…(Read More)
Multiple winter storms have hit our area of the Middle East in recent weeks, creating new challenges for the refugees we work with. The mountains have seen heavy snowfall and freezing temps even at altitudes just below the snow line. The lowlands and metro areas have had large amounts of destructive flash flooding. Even the…(Read More)
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)
