In May 2016 I had the opportunity to travel to Lebanon and serve alongside our local partners in hosting a three-day Bible camp for Syrian refugee children. Before departing for the camp we spent some time hearing about the children we would be working with. The statistics were alarming and revealed that these children were hurting (79 percent have lost a family member to the violence/persecution; 60 percent have seen someone inflicted with the violence/persecution with their own eyes; 30 percent have personally experienced it).
