Refugees Archives - HavenToday.org

Between the civil war in Syria and the advance of ISIS in the Middle East, 14 million people have been forced to flee their homes–more than half of them children. This is the greatest number of displaced people since World War II.

Iraqi and Syrian refugees are in desperate need. Many are living in refugee camps in Northern Iraq, while others are risking death and homelessness as they attempt to reach Europe and elsewhere.

Haven Ministries is partnering with Samaritan’s Purse to provide food, shelter, and other necessities to refugees in Iraq and Europe.

The Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic

Ten miles from ISIS above the plains of ancient Nineveh, a Chaldean pastor prays the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic—the language Jesus spoke over 2,000 years ago. This is the closest thing we have today for us to experience what it was like to hear Jesus speak these same words.

Should we forgive ISIS?

Reverend Douglas Bazi, Pastor & Erbil Relief Director, talks about how to be in a Christian living in the shadow of ISIS.

What Life is Like in Erbil

Charles Morris reports from one of Iraq’s largest cities that remains free from the control of ISIS. Life goes on, though the danger of an attack is imminent.

Do refugees have a future?

Just outside a refugee camp in Northern Iraq, Charles Morris interviews Caleb Drown, Samaritan’s Purse Deputy Director, to see what the long-term future holds for refugees in that region.

To learn more about what is happening in Northern Iraq, watch the full-length mini documentary, which includes more stories from those living in the shadow of ISIS.

When people are suffering on the other side of the world, it’s often easy to feel like we are powerless to help. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. God has equipped every believer with the ability to help scores of people through the ministry of prayer.

When it comes to the millions displaced by war and persecution in Syria and Iraq, there is a great need for the body of Christ to come together and pray for those who need it today.

Watch as Charles Morris, President and Speaker of Haven Ministries, interviews people on the ground in Northern Iraq to discover how the Church can help the millions displaced by war and persecution.

The ultimatum is grim: convert to Islam or die.

Fleeing their homes by the hundreds of thousands, Iraqi Christians and other minorities are running for their lives as the radical jihadist army ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) advances.

Men, women and children alike are being slaughtered and driven from their homes. Many who are not killed by militants are facing death in the wilderness due to exposure and starvation.

But there is something you can do!

Haven Ministries is partnering with Samaritan’s Purse to bring relief to the Iraqi and Syrian refugees looking for food, shelter and safety in the Kurdish region of Iraq. Through local partnerships and logistical supply lines, thousands of lives are being saved, yet the number of refugees is growing rapidly!
