Damascus, the capital of Syria, and Homs, a main center of the Syrian uprising and catalyst for the civil war, are two of the most populous cities in the country. The capital was crowned for its beauty and has been called the “pearl of the East”, however, both cities have suffered much loss and deterioration since the war began in 2011. |
With Bashar al-Assad still in power, the only true hope for the healing and transformation of Syria is the Good News of Jesus. Thankfully, many Syrians report that the Messiah revealed himself to them in dreams and visions while fleeing the country. |
With the country under Assad’s oppressive control the conflict has diminished, and with increased stabilization an opportunity is presenting itself for Jesus following Syrians to return to their homes and share with their countrymen an unfading, imperishable Pearl of great price. |
