But as a refugee he learned about the hope of Jesus.

Even before the current situation in Afghanistan, a refugee crisis existed. Over 82 million people have been displaced from their homes. It is the highest number since World War II, and the problem is not slowing down. Famine, drought, conflicts, and disasters continue to force people from their homes — people like Fareed*.

Fareed and his family live as refugees in a Middle Eastern country. During the war in their homeland, Fareed was struck with two bullets while buying bread for his daughters. He was rushed to a neighboring country where he underwent several operations to save his life. His family was able to join him, but they struggled to access even the most basic items necessary for survival.

Fareed noticed how our local staff teams came to help them and started asking spiritual questions. After hearing about the eternal hope of Jesus, Fareed and his whole family responded in faith. Our local staff member shared,

“They love Jesus very much, and you can see the joy of Jesus on his face as he tells how much Jesus loves him.”

That is the difference your gift makes for people in the toughest places. As people experience the kindness of Jesus, they want to know more about Him. As a result they receive help for today and hope for all eternity.

As people face unprecedented suffering, we have an unprecedented opportunity to reach Afghan refugees and others like them in the toughest places with help and the hope of Jesus.
