Appeal : Bringing Aid and Comfort to the Vulnerable in Turkey & Syria
Country : Turkey and Syria
Ministry: Mission Support Fund
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” —Psalm 46:1
Transforming the lives of many wouldn't have been possible without your fervent prayers and generous donations. With the permit that the Bible Society obtained from the Commissioner of Charities (COC) for fundraising for Turkey and Syria, we were able to raise about US$180,000 so far to help the homeless and comfort the bereaved. We thank you for your generous contributions that have brought hope and helped alleviate the pains and suffering of the people of Turkey and Syria.
However, the work is far from over as there are many more who have been left even more vulnerable than before and are in greater need of God’s tangible care and protection. Turkey and Syria currently suffer deadly flooding just a month after being devastated by an earthquake. Flash flooding in Turkey has killed at least 18 people and many more are missing after torrential rain hit two provinces, increasing the misery for thousands who were left homeless by the earthquake. As the temporary housing set up for earthquake victims have been flooded, many of those that have died in the flooding had been reportedly living in these tents and container housing. In Syria, heavy rainstorms cause widespread damage and flooding and further hardship for over thousands of people living in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps. As of 19 March, FloodList reported a total of 938 tents from various IDPs camps and earthquake shelter camps were affected.
Your prayers and support have an impact that can’t be measured. We urge you to continue contributing to this cause, as we continue to work closely with the Bible Society in Turkey and World Evangelical Alliance to display God’s love and hope to those who desperately need it through our relief efforts. Empowered by your prayers and support, we trust that many hurting and vulnerable people in Turkey and Syria will encounter Jesus’s healing presence.
