Syria’s Christians continue to face one of the most challenging seasons in their long history. This year alone, violence, targeted attacks, and economic hardship have deepened the daily struggle for survival. Yet, even amid this turmoil, hope is taking root through the work of The Blessing Projects.
From the heart of Damascus to the farmlands of Aamouda and Al Mansouri, our mission remains the same: to protect, equip, and uplift Christian communities so they can stand firm in their faith and future.

On June 22, 2025, tragedy struck at the Greek Orthodox Mar Elias Church in the Dweila district of Damascus. A masked attacker opened fire and detonated an explosive device during evening liturgy, killing over 20 worshippers, including many children, and injuring more than 50 others.
Within hours, our team was on the ground, distributing food and essential supplies to around 250 survivors. We stood alongside grieving families, offering presence and prayer where words alone could not reach.
This immediate response was a clear message: Syria’s Christians are not alone, even in their darkest hour.
In Northern Syria, we have launched a seed production small business to strengthen over 150 Christian farming families. By producing and distributing high-quality, locally adapted seeds, we are helping farmers cultivate stronger crops and reclaim long-term food security.
Over 800 Christians are benefiting, not only with better harvests, but with the training, year-round planning, and job opportunities needed to rebuild livelihoods. In a nation where displacement and instability threaten to uproot entire communities, these fields are an anchor of stability and dignity.
Further east, in Al Mansouri, we planted 350 apple, olive, and almond trees across just over an acre of land owned by 20 Christian farmers. With new land laws threatening to confiscate unused property, these trees are more than a source of food and income, they are a legal safeguard for families determined to remain on their ancestral land.
Because these trees will bear fruit for generations, they ensure long-term stability, create sustainable agricultural income, and keep Christian families rooted in their homeland.
From emergency relief in Damascus to planting seeds and trees in the countryside, every project is part of one unshakable mission: to stand with Syria’s Christians; meeting immediate needs, protecting their heritage, and building a future where they can thrive in their own land.
As violence and uncertainty continue, these acts of faith in action, whether in the form of a seed, a tree, or a meal, remind us that hope is not fragile here. It is deeply planted, watered by compassion, and destined to grow.
