2. Refugees and asylees leave their
countries because of war or
persecution due to their nationality,
race, religion, political opinion or
membership in a group.
By nature of their situation, refugees
have to leave their homelands
behind.
3. Fearful for their safety or lives,
refugees are forced to flee. They
may leave secretly or are chased
out. Many die trying to escape.
Those lucky enough to escape
their country are considered
refugees.
6. ACT: Engage your community
(church/synagogue/mosque,
school, civic group) about
supporting refugees.
7. Write/visit your Congressional
Representative and ask for their
leadership on Syrian conflict
issues.
PRAY: For all who have fled their
home seeking safety in unfamiliar
lands that they may find courage,
strength, peace and welcome.
