Love Stories: Jordan, and the Overwhelming Love of God

My first day in Jordan I was sent out on a home visit. I met a Syrian mother and her two small children. She shared her story plagued with fear, abuse and illness. We shared stories of Jesus, she wept. I held her baby girls, I never wanted to leave. As we left the woman kissed my cheeks and asked me to come back to her. This woman was nine months pregnant and because of her physical condition she was expecting to die during childbirth. I would never see them again.

A Letter From Lenya: September 2015

The air was still and the ground was cold as the morning sun rose in the East. While walking uphill to the camp, we began to see the smiling faces of people welcoming us to their new home. The Korah School was an unfinished concrete structure, grey and weather-beaten. Children approached us with curiosity and wonder, and as they did, we could see the anguish of loss and the vulnerability of displacement in their eyes. These were the Yazidi people of Iraq – an ancient people who carry a heavy burden of war and pain. They are without a permanent home, searching for hope in the midst of a battle-torn country.
