Christians in Salt

Yes, there is a small group of Christians in a town called Salt (They are the "salt of the earth"--ha-- that was a joke). Eighteen Syrian Christian refugee families who have fled for their lives are now living in humble circumstances, trying to make a life here in Jordan.  They don't have many resources.  United Muslem Relief found out about  them and came to their aid--with their trusty partner, LDS Charities.  We both feel strongly that we are all human beings and should treat each other with kindness and respect.

"Making a list and checking it twice. . ."  to find out if they are receiving help from anyone else.  No cheating allowed.  

This girl is 13 years old.  She speaks beautiful English.  Her family can't go back to Syria because their home isn't there any more (bombed).  They don't want to go back.  Their dream is to go to France.

One woman had a necklace with a cross.  Jamal took the necklace and put it on each woman to have her picture taken.  When the vice-president of UMR made a speech he said "Jesus Christ, may peace and blessings be upon Him."  (Whenever the Muslims mention Mohammed they say the same thing).  We thought it was very kind and respectful for him to say that.
