O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted.
You will strengthen their heart
You will incline your ear to do
justice to the fatherless and the oppressed
so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
Psalm 10:17-18 ESV

30 Sep: 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.
