Give Hope to Syrian Refugees—For as Little as $10

ORLANDO, Fla. — Pioneers USA, a respected organization providing aid and relief to refugees worldwide, has come up with a way for anyone to give hope to refugees in Syria—and invite friends and family to do the same.

For as little as $10, you can meet the physical and spiritual needs of Syrian refugees at CrowdRise.com/giving-hope. There, you can make donations and even set up fundraising campaigns of your own, tracking results as you inspire others to join in.

As the refugee crisis in the Middle East continues to escalate, at least 50 percent of the Syrian population has been displaced from their homes. The unfolding tragedy demands a response, but many wonder how to help these victims of war and unrest.

With 3,122 members serving in 108 countries, Pioneers is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of victims of war as they leave their devastated homeland and attempt to rebuild their lives in new host countries.

Pioneers and its partners on the ground are offering immediate physical relief, along with spiritual help such as counseling, Bible studies and prayer.

Pioneers is launching this campaign with Thoughtful Missions, an organization that helps nonprofits use tools such as crowdfunding to build a strong community of supporters. Together, they hope to provide everyday people with an opportunity to provide much-needed help to refugees in Syria.

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People

None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.
