A quote from the release notes, "Without the Church, Syria has no future."

One Open Doors contact in Aleppo said, "We need food and medicines. But what our country needs most now is prayer. We have no option [other] than to turn to God in this desperate situation. The most important thing the world can do for us now is pray."

The report from the Open Doors release stated that there are areas in the cities of Homs and Aleppo that are "being taken over by Muslim extremists, who are implementing Sharia Law."

Open Doors' Damascus contact said, "The situation in Syria is really desperate. We will all pray together in Syria, but we need every Christian in the world to pray. Please pray that the problems will come to an end and those causing the problems will stop. Pray that Syria will find Jesus."

Another church leader noted, "It is so powerful to pray like one family. It's not that just our prayers aren't enough for God, but if all the Christians in the world unite with one heart, we believe it will be a blessing for Syria and the whole earth. Words can't describe how thankful we are that you will pray with us. We pray that God will bless everyone who is praying with us."
