CHECK OUT IMAGES FROM 2019 CHRISTMAS EVENTS
Christmas for Refugees hosts events every year in Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Nigeria, and Bethlehem in the West Bank. The Christmas programs last several hours and include Gospel themed puppet shows, games, and Christmas carols. Gospel themed coloring books and work books are distributed to the children who also receive a hot meal. Each child takes home a gift to the family of food staples, hygiene products and/or blankets depending upon region.
Hundreds of thousands of Christian families with children in the Middle East were driven from their homelands by brutal wars. Some of these families are the descendants of men and women led to follow Jesus by his Apostles. The families are now returning home and are desperately trying to rebuild their lives amidst continued persecution for their faith.
