Aaron and Khalil Hassan are two brothers who fled to Lebanon after the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) chased them from their apricot farm. While in Lebanon, they heard the gospel and placed their faith in Christ. When they returned to Syria, they found their farms pillaged; ISIS had chopped down the apricot trees and used them for firewood. VOM helped them replant their orchard, but they and other Christians in Syria report that life remains difficult: “Basic life necessities are scarce and horrendously expensive if they can be found,” said a front-line worker. He adds that theft and burglary are also major problems and that Christian families remain alert to Muslim extremists: “The situation is getting better than before in this regard, but due to increasing security chaos, they are still exposed to extremists, even if it is less than during the war,” the front-line worker said. “The threat from Islamic militants remains.”

Lord, please protect and help Your sons and daughters in Syria. In Acts 2, You tell us in these last days You will pour out of Your Spirit upon all flesh and young men will see visions and old men will dream dreams, and our sons and daughters and Your servants and handmaids will prophesy. Fulfill Your Word in Syria for Your glory. In Jesus name, Amen.

Father God, in the name of Jesus, I ask for Your strong hand to be greatly pressed on the hearts of the wicked in Syria. You know each and every one. Wicked men can only oppress, steal, abuse, and kill. But YOU, oh Lord, give LIFE thru JESUS the only true Savior and Lord. Let Your love shine in Aaron and Khali against all "extremists". You are GOD.
