Hikmat Kashouh shared in January how the Resurrection Church in Beirut follows Jesus by serving Syrian refugees.
‘As a church we had Syrians come to us and they were totally without hope. They had lost their homes, lost their land, lost their properties. The people were traumatised and they came broken, totally in despair. They had no food, no clothes except the ones they were wearing. We had to join hands with a number of churches to be able to serve them,’ he said.
Challenge for the church
The particular challenges Hikmat and his church face in serving these refugees are huge. ‘They are spiritually hurt, they are angry with God, they are emotionally broken and traumatised. Some of them are sick physically in addition to spiritually and emotionally.
