The situation in Syria is likely worse than you know. Over the last week, jihadist militants have savagely attacked religious minorities, eliminating thousands of civilians in just a matter of days. Women, children, entire families – were dispatched in their homes and in the streets.

Many of the bodies have been dumped into mass graves. Thevideos and photos capturing these scenes in Syria are ghoulish. The savagery bears all the hallmarks of a genocide.

The Alawites, a religious minority group similar to Shi’iteMuslims, were primarily targeted in these pogroms. Yet other minorities, including Christians, were swept up in the violence.

Sadly, most Christians around the world know little – ifanything – about what is going on. Others are confused. To help raise awareness, we are providing this brief update on what’s happening in Syria.  

Take courage! The Church is not doomed in Syria. Many Christians are standing their ground in Syria, even if they are scared. Not only that, but many from different religious backgrounds are seeking the truth and finding Christ. We serve the Lord who penetrates darkness with light.

But the Church in Syria needs help. Please share about whatis going on, so other Christians can know and pray accordingly.
