Through Operation Safe Havens, Barnabas Fund reported in October that it has rescued 693 believers who have made the agonising decision to leave their homeland for countries where they can live and worship in peace and safety.
Many more are wanting to make the trip in the coming months. Governments are willing to provide visas and local churches are willing to help Christians settle in – but most of the families do not have the financial resources needed to make the journey to peace and security or to support themselves once there.
One Christian had marvelled at the answer to their prayer when they heard that Barnabas Fund would provide the family's airfares to Australia. He said: ‘Where are we going to find help? – it's very expensive – you were sent from heaven!’
