Walking the Hurting Home Through Ministry

A front-line worker in Lebanon shared what the Lord has taught him through “walking people home” over years of serving persecuted Christians. “The people we walk alongside carry heavy, layered wounds,” he wrote. “They are dealing with trauma, anxiety and the terrifying insecurity that comes from losing their homes, livelihoods and families because of their faith. I’ve learned to listen for what lies beneath the words ? the fear someone is too ashamed to name, the hope they’re hesitant to whisper, the grief they’ve carried alone for years. We are walking people home. We are standing beside the local church through suffering and survival.” He said practical aid is a way of demonstrating to believers that they are not forgotten and that the body of Christ does not abandon its own. Pray for strength and encouragement for this worker and all those who demonstrate Christ’s love and care to persecuted Christians.
