Flee for all?

Fadi is a husband and father to two children.  His family was sleeping soundly when a missile hit their home and destroyed his shop.  Fadi's wife was critically injured.  In an attempt to find a safe place for his children, he located the Alliance Church which opened its doors to his family and others whose homes had been destroyed by the bombings.   Days earlier, the Alliance Church had a meeting of its leadership to decide if the church would remain open or if the church would close so its members could flee to another area.   The leadership elected to stay in harm's way so they could be the hands and feet of Jesus to those that needed them.  I don't often visualize churches in Syria, but today I am praying for this one.  

I got Fadi's story from this article.  It includes more information about what Christians are doing in Syria.
