Title: Out of Sight. Out of Mind. The Forgotten Orphans.
Topic: Orphans in the Middle East
Discussed by Keith Davies
with Walid Shoebat Foundation (www.shoebat.com)
For more information and to learn how you can help the thousands of orphans
in the Middle East, log on to www.RescueChristians.org. You can be a part of the
greatest mission in history.
The Islamic State has murdered or enslaved thousands upon thousands of men and
women in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan. What has happened to their children?
Keith Davies, with the Walid Shoebat Foundation, says as many as 50,000 children
have become orphaned; most are between the ages of 6 and 12 years old. They have
traveled to or been smuggled into Turkey.
These orphans have nowhere to go for help. They do not have access to any
medical care and obviously have no school to attend, either. They have only the
clothes on their back. Some of these orphans are being cared for by local
people, usually elderly religious leaders who are refugees themselves.
Keith Davies is also the Executive Director for the humanitarian aid group
Rescue Christians. He says no one in the international media has
reported on this humanitarian crisis. The people caring for these children are
receiving no aid from the US or Europe. They are living on pita bread and tea.
One religious refugee has taken in 15 children. You can view his personal
testimony (here)
Keith and others with the organization Rescue Christians plan to move as many
children as they can to Greece, where the Greek orthodox arch bishop has agreed
to help in their mission to save Syrian and Iraqi Christians.
After the initial rescue, extraction, and temporary relocation mission, Davies
has an even bigger challenge. He says, "We then intend to get these children
adopted in the US and Europe. We have our work cut out to get the governments to
agree because the kids have no papers and no birth certificate. We will also
need doctors to give them a medical examination before any country will take
them."
Please do not sit idly by as these children suffer. Their parents have been
murdered, sometimes before their very eyes, or enslaved to ISIS extremists.
These children need your prayers and your monetary support. You might think $25
is not a lot of money, but to them, it is life-changing and life-saving. For all
the information, log on to www.RescueChristians.org.
