Thank you for all your prayers these days. Georgius is alive! He has lost a kidney and other organs have also been damaged. After an emergency operation, he is now conscious again. He has opened his eyes and understands when people speak to him. It's a miracle that he is still alive. Thank God for that.
Image: Georgius has recovered quickly, despite now having only one kidney.
Pray that there are no complications and that Georgius survives and recovers. Medical options are very limited in war-torn Aleppo. Please pray that Georgius will receive the necessary treatment and that he will not suffer any health problems. Please also pray that Georgius can soon resume his commitment to the refugees in Aleppo and be an encouraging witness to many of his compatriots. The situation in Aleppo is very chaotic. Currently, our relief teams on the ground are meeting numerous starving refugees from Eastern Aleppo and providing them with much-needed aid. Please pray that this aid can continue uninterrupted.
The church is a house of peace in Aleppo
The civil war in Syria, which has so far claimed an estimated half a million lives, has entered its sixth year. The front lines have passed through the city of Aleppo, which has been bombed to pieces.
Local pastor Rassan, whose relief work we support, says that many people come to his church - not only because they know that help is available here, but also because they feel that there is ocare for them regardless of their background or ethnicity.
He says: "The church is seen as a place of peace in the hell of war, and the Christian relief teams that go out to distribute aid to those most in need in the city are seen as life-saving angels.
He concludes: "Thank you so much for your help and keep praying for us"
On average, it costs around DKK 652 to provide a refugee family with water, food, kitchenware, hygiene items, clothing and medicine for a month.
