CHRISTIAN CHILDREN IN REFUGEE’S CAMPS

 

 Million children are affected by the brutal four-year-old conflict in Syria. Children have been put at risk by unrelenting violence, crumbling infrastructure, ruined schools and hospitals and shortages of essential supplies. “Water”.

 

 

Refugee camps in the countries bordering Syria are overflowing. There are now 2 million child refugees who have fled Syria. That's more than the combined under-18 populations of Los Angeles and Boston. Many will face another bitter winter in makeshift shelters without adequate clothing or protection from the cold.

    It is no longer possible to go on living in tents, or in public parks, or in schools because the season is changing and winter is knocking at the door. We have a lot of homeless children and not even a roof to cover them.

 

 

 

Between the worldwide refugee crisis and the discussion of U.S. immigration in our presidential debates, we are faced with the question of how we respond to those who cross the borders of nations and cultures, sometimes desperate for help.

 

            Orphans or Adopt a Christian child

Psalm 146:9

9 The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

Psalms 82:3-4 - Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.  

James 1:27 - Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

Galatians 4:4-6 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.

 

As winter approaches with the possibility of snow, the emergency is likely to get worse with great need for food, warm clothes, and shelter.

 

If we wish to “remain” Christian, then we need to be Christian. It’s odd to talk about “remaining” Christian as if some force were trying to take it away. To follow Jesus is not to belong to a majority culture, but to cleave to his teachings.
