敘利亞擁有歷史悠久的基督徒群體,他們的信仰在一定程度上是開放的。但其他宗派的基督徒可能面臨巨大的危險。
具有某些意識形態的團體接管敘利亞的後果仍然可見。大量基督徒離開原籍地,作為國內流離失所者前往其他基督教佔多數的地區,或已經離開該國。雖然一些基督徒已經返回重建他們的生活和社區,但人數仍然比以前少得多。
Lord, we pray for Christians in Syria who have been forced from their communities. Bring them hope and comfort. We remember those who love You but face strong opposition and danger - give them courage and let them know Your care. After so many years of turmoil, we pray that Syria would finally have a fair, stable government, peace and justice. In Jesus' name, amen.
