“The towns and people of Moab
are at a loss,
New-hatched birds knocked from the nest,
fluttering helplessly
At the banks of the Arnon River,
unable to cross:
‘Tell us what to do,
help us out!
Protect us,
hide us!
Give the refugees from Moab
sanctuary with you.
Be a safe place for those on the run
from the killing fields.” - from Isaiah 15 ((the Message)Someday we will almost certainly look back at this time in history as the Decade of the Refugee.
A staggering one in 110 people today have have been driven from their homes by war, famine, dire poverty, gang violence and/or persecution. This results in hundreds of millions of individuals facing homelessness and untold hardship, often with little hope of being able to return to their places of origin.
Please pray for an end to war everywhere. Pray for much needed help for suffering men, women and children refugees in already overcrowded places like Gaza, Syria, Myanmar, Yemen, and Central America. Pray for those countries and agencies seeking to respond to their needs, and for those who deny refuge.
And please offer whatever financial help you possibly can:
