A Day of Activities for Displaced Kids
Our church participated in a day of activities for the displaced Assyrian kids in the neighborhood of Sad El Baouchriye, Maten in Lebanon. On the first of May 2015, more than one hundred boys and girls came to the Assyrian Church courtyard to play and enjoy the spring time along with the Near East School of Theology students. It was wonderful time and experience to be in contact with Iraqi and Syrian displaced kids.
