The Plight of Refugee Children!

But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." And He laid His hands on them and departed from there. (Matthew 19:14-15).

There are millions of extremely traumatized refugee children. Orphaned survivors of any ongoing humanitarian crisis experience post-traumatic stress, but the traumatized children of Syria's war have experienced more trauma than those in the medical profession that cares for them have ever seen. They have witnessed dismembered human beings who used to be their parents or siblings. Sometimes, only one or two people survive out of a family of 5 to 10. They may also have physical wounds, severe injuries or amputations. Somehow, some survivors make it to refugee camps. Traumatized Syrian children will have an impact on the world in the future.

Pray:

• For more work to be done amongst traumatised refugee-children.
• For more teachers, psychologists, teaching materials and schools.
• For feeding schemes and safe places for the many war orphans.
• For protection against the sexual abuse of children (both boys and girls) and that God will protect children against all forms of child labour.
• For the children to come to Jesus and see Him as their Friend and Saviour.
• Thank God for revealing Himself to the children.
