EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY & SYRIA
You can Make a difference!
Update 02/20/23: from IDES’ Project Mangers: “The scale of the disaster here in Turkey is overwhelming. The total affected area is larger than the entire state of Indiana (more than 42,000 square miles). The tiny and persecuted church here is responding with food, hygiene, blankets and other aid as they are able in the worst hit cities. Frequently they are asked by recipients, ‘who are you and why are you helping?’ Which allows for a natural and loving witness about the hope and help of Christ."
