Car for Middle East Persecuted Believers

Donation protected
Hey friend, if you have found yourself on this page, let me say thank you for having a heart that cares to hear the story of my dear friends from the Middle East.
Please understand that detailed information and pictures are not able to be shared due to the need to protect their identity. Additionally, we are not able to send this out on social media for the above reasons, so it is extremely important for you to share it via email or text with those who you think might like to join in giving.

Last fall I went on a mission trip to Central Asia where I had the pleasure of meeting these two dear friends. They were my host home. This couple had previously been kicked out of two countries (including their home country) because of sharing the Gospel with others. When I met them, they were refugees in the country where we were staying. Yet, they graciously opened their home to host us.
Most of what they had were things that had been left behind from the previous owner or had been donated to them. They had only two towels and they insisted that WE use them. The entire time we were there they went above and beyond to bless us with unexplainable generosity.
This couple has experienced so much persecution due to their faith and still they radiate joy and peace beyond what I can fathom. When asked how they continue to share the Gospel after experiencing persecution, their answer was simple but profound, "It is who we are, how could we not".

They are so dear to my heart and it is a joy to share that they have finally received their paperwork for visas to come to the United States (Praise God!) and will be arriving very soon. They are eager to work, however, they will need a vehicle to get to and from work. Mass transit is not available where they will be living. Their prayer request is that God will provide a vehicle. The heart behind this page is to be a part of answering that prayer request. They have generously blessed so many, so will you join me in the opportunity to return a blessing to them?

Any amount you are led to contribute will be a blessing! We are hoping to use any amount over the cost of the car to alleviate the burden of finances for insurance, medications, groceries and clothing during this very challenging process of starting over. Please ask the Lord if you are to be a part of answering their prayers. Again, thank you for taking the time to read their story. As I shared before, we can't post this on any social media platforms, so feel free to email or text this to those who might feel led to contribute.
