Ancient Syria was a region referred to often in the Bible. In one well-known account, the Apostle Paul cited the “road to Damascus”, which is the largest city in Syria and the place where he had visions that led to his Christian conversion. Today, only 10 percent of the population is Christian, with the large majority being Sunni Muslim. Civil war has defined Syria, in many ways, for the last decade. The UN estimates that 400,000 people have been killed in Syria since the beginning of the civil war in 2011.  

our approach

We were never intended to live in poverty, divided against one another, with little hope for peace. In the Kingdom of God, poverty, violence, division, and hopelessness will not exist. We believe the Church is God’s primary transforming agent in the world, and that the local church exists to make its community more like the Kingdom of God.   

We partner with local indigenous leaders as they minister to the communities and cultures that they themselves are from. We start projects and programs in the hardest places and set up a plan for them to be self-sustaining in order for them to know independence and the value of reinvesting in their own communities.
