Imagine a community living in the very lands where Christianity was born. These are the “Suryoyo Christians,” inheritors of a rich spiritual heritage, tracing their lineage back to Antioch, where “The disciples were first called Christians.”
Our neighbors in Syria and Lebanon are people just like us, except they have not had the opportunity to flee the region to benefit from the freedoms and blessings of life elsewhere. They are also committed to the homeland. They are mothers, fathers, and children—families of four or five people.
They want what any family desires: safety, security, and the ability to keep their children rooted in their homeland.
But for over a decade, their lives have been marked by unrelenting hardship. Despite their deep connection to the land and their faith remaining a “beacon,” they are struggling under circumstances that are “utterly tough to bear.” They are the characters in a story of profound endurance, yet they are facing a villain determined to erase their stability.
