In this urgent update, Help The Persecuted CEO Joshua Youssef brings together voices from the heart of Syria's crisis to reveal the true stories of persecuted Christians behind the headlines.

Our Field Ministers Daniel and Lina share firsthand accounts of what's happening in Syria, while Dr. Martin Parsons provides crucial context about the challenges facing believers in this volatile region. The conversation illuminates the difficult reality for Alawite families experiencing targeted violence, the precarious position of Christian communities navigating shifting power dynamics, and the life-threatening dangers confronting converts, who have embraced faith in Christ from Muslim backgrounds. They also touch on the dual narrative being presented by Syria's new leadership—one face turned toward the West and another toward internal religious factions.

Please stand our persecuted family through informed prayer as we seek God's protection over persecuted Christians and peace in the midst of this unfolding situation.
