Turkey: Kurdish refugees suffer and Jesus saves

The escalation in Turkey's fight with Kurdish rebels has made life harder for Kurdish refugees from Syria, and indigenous Christians are working with them. Kurdish refugee families find that the Turkish government is unwilling to help them when officials discover they are from a predominantly Kurdish area of Syria. Now they have another problem because Kurds are fighting against Turkey in the southeast of the country. These families have nowhere to go and do not know what to do. In one refugee camp most of those who have fled the terrorist advances of IS are Kurdish. IS had terrorised them in the name of God. But now Christians are ministering to them with clothes, food and vitamins for their health, saying, 'Here I am. Jesus sent me to you.’ A grandmother said in Arabic, ‘Thank you! So many wounds. Tell Jesus to save us.'
