War-Hardened Refugees in Turkey Learn of Love
In his refugee tent in Turkey, a Muslim father of two was talking with native missionaries who had just given him tarps to help keep out the rain. He wanted to know why they were doing it.
The Turkish ministry leader realized the refugee believed they would expect something in return for helping them. He needed to put him at ease.
“Who are you?” said the refugee, a schoolteacher in his native Syria. “We never heard that we should help unbelievers. If we had the chance, our priority would be to kill you.”
