Healing Families with Life-Giving Care
S ometimes, when you show someone you truly care about them, it can open a door to talk about deeper things.
That’s what happened after 20-year-old Dima took one of her three children to World Compassion Fellowship’s (WCF) Life Center in Northern Lebanon for a consultation. After the visit, Dima praised the staff for the loving care they provided her child. She told them the low cost of the treatment was a blessing to her family because her husband had lost his job.
When one worker asked Dima how she learned about WCF’s Life Center, Dima pulled the worker aside to share more with them.
“She told me that she had been visiting the Life Center since it opened,” the worker said. “She said our center is unlike any other center she had visited.”
As the conversation progressed, the worker felt moved to ask Dima about her life. Dima shared some of the struggles her family had been experiencing. The worker gave Dima advice for how to navigate the challenges and prayed over her. The two forged a friendship that continues today. Some of the advice the worker shared led to Dima’s husband getting a new job.
Connections like these are important for all of us. They’re especially important for Syrian refugees navigating life through increased uncertainty and the economic crisis that has been gripping Lebanon the past few years.
Your support of WCF’s Life Centers helps ensure that these life-giving care and relationships continue to exist amid the chaos.
