“More than 700,000 Syrian refugees have fled to other countries in the region and aid workers are struggling to keep up with the exodus, the United Nations said on Tuesday,” Reuters reports. “The number of refugees passed the 500,000 mark on Dec 11, meaning more than 200,000 have fled the war-torn country in the past seven weeks.”

"Please keep the people of Syria in prayer. Please keep the persecuted Christians in Syria in your prayers. And please pray that Christians in the epicenter and around the world will have wisdom to know how best to care for all these suffering people."

"Here is the list of countries in the Middle East area currently ruled by Islamists: Egypt, the Gaza Strip, Iran, Lebanon, and Turkey. Syria will probably join them soon. Qatar has a pro-Islamist policy. Morocco technically has an Islamist government though the king neutralizes it in practice. Saudi Arabia is ruled by a strict Islamic regime but opposes the revolutionary Islamists though its money often spreads their doctrines elsewhere. Everyone is being forced into Sunni or Shia Islamist camps, backing radical forces in other countries so that their religious allegiance can conquer."

"The return of Vladimir Putin to the Russian presidency ushered in a new period of accelerated repression. With Russia setting the tone, Eurasia (consisting of the countries of the former Soviet Union minus the Baltic states) now rivals the Middle East as one of the most repressive areas on the globe."

A prayer by a fourth century Syrian Christian; St. Ephraim:  

"O Lord and Master of my life,
take from me the spirit of
apathy,
despair,
desire for power
and idle talk.
And give to me,
Your servant,
a spirit of
chastity,
humility,
patience
and love.
Yes, my Lord and King,
give me the grace to see my own faults
and not to judge my brother.
For blessed are You forever and ever. Amen."
