Pray for the Children of SyriaBrian Heasley - 10 Mar 2014

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." John 14:27

On 15 March 2014, the Syria crisis will enter its third year of bloodshed. Nearly half the population has been forced to flee their homes and well over 100,000 people have been killed, including 10,000 children.

Enough is enough.

Will you stand #WithSyria ?

World Vision, alongside other international agencies and faith groups are committed to doing everything they can to end the bloodshed and suffering – particularly for children, and to make this the conflict’s last year – and they can’t do it without prayer.

In the run up to 15 March, people around the world will be illuminating iconic landmarks such as Trafalgar Square, the White House and the Eiffel Tower to transform them into symbols of hope.  

As Christians, we have a God who listens to the cries of our hearts, who cares about our needs and who hates conflict – the #ChildrenofSyria need Him now, more than ever.

Will you join World Vision and raise your voice in prayer to call for a breakthrough in this conflict and in particular for the very special needs of the children of Syria, so that they don't lose another year to bloodshed and suffering, and we don’t lose a generation of children?

Will you, your prayer group or church hold a prayer vigil in the week starting 10 March? Or could you add it into your daily rhythm or create a special place in your 24-7 Prayer room?

World Vision has created prayer resources, a video, prayer points and cards to help you organise an event, or guide you in your personal prayer.

Please visit the World Vision website  to download resources and information that will help you pray

Thank you for standing #WithSyria and the #ChildrenofSyria.
