Praise God for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East who have made Jesus their all, even in the midst of persecution, displacement and war. Ask God to strengthen them, provide for all their needs, and continue to draw them closer to Himself.

In Syria itself, Open Doors local church partners are keeping 12,000 families alive with vital aid such as food and medicines, alongside long-term projects.
