They need your help now, more than ever.

Please pray

Please join with the local church in praying for all affected – whether injured, traumatised or grieving.

“We’re still in the shock phase,” says Ibrahim Najjar, an Open Doors partner in Aleppo, Syria. “No homes, no shops, no food. People are really suffering.”.

Pray with us:

That survivors would be quickly rescued, and for all emergency and medical staff

For the church and Open Doors partners to be beacons of hope, and equipped to help their communities

For all who mourn to be comforted.
