Our staff and contacts encounter many opportunities to lend a listening ear and show Jesus’ love to displaced people in various countries. An elderly man in Armenia lost his farm with eighty pigs and some cows when conflict erupted in the area. “We just have to start over again,” he said. Weeping mothers in the Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh share stories of brutality and injustice they witnessed while escaping their villages in Myanmar.

As refugees in another country, they surrendered their lives to Jesus. “I was walking in darkness all these years,” one of them shared. “I’m so excited to learn more about Jesus.”
