Last week, The Fellowship donated five ambulances to first responders in southern Syria to help persecuted Druze and Christians. In an op-ed with CBN News, our President and Global CEO Yael Eckstein explains why aid is extended to these vulnerable communities:

For decades, Christians around the world have stood with Israel, with our elderly, our children, our soldiers, and our survivors. They have prayed for us, supported us, and lifted us up in our darkest hours. Today, as Christian communities just across our border face persecution and fear, it is our turn to stand with them.

Because suffering does not stop at a border. And neither does compassion.

When our teams at The Fellowship learned of the growing attacks on Christian and Druze communities in southern Syria, we knew we could not look away. These are people who share our values, our longing for peace, and our belief in the sacredness of every human life.
