Desperate Syrian Refugees Run to Christ: Teach Their Children About Jesus"Now, you have to teach my children. These are the future. They have to be Christians. Our time is short. Please teach them."
This year alone, more than 126,000 refugees have entered Greece, and last year, more than 500,000 refugees arrived on the island of Lesbos, according to the BBC. Still more refugees more are traveling to Macedonia, which was allowing entry to only 250 refugees per day and has turned away more than 6,000. Thousands are expected to be stranded in Greece or Turkey in the upcoming months, as several European nations recently announced caps on the numbers they will take. Even worse—more than 3,770 migrants were reported to have died trying to cross the Mediterranean in 2015. Most died on the crossing from north Africa to Italy, and more than 800 died in the Aegean crossing from Turkey to Greece.

With tears streaming from his eyes, Saddam said, "I need someone to talk with me about Jesus." The workers summoned the ministry co-directors, and the Muslim man told them, "All the Muslim countries have turned their back to us. All the Muslim nations have ripped us from our treasures. They taught us not to trust the Christians, and that they are liars. I come to Greece and I find myself in the best place with the best food for me and my children. I find love that I have never seen. Please teach me." He wept even more as the ministry leaders led him to Jesus as Lord and Savior, then he said, "Now, you have to teach my children. These are the future. They have to be Christians. Our time is short. Please teach them." The co-directors reported, "Yesterday, our friends from the Sunday school prayed for two of his children.
