Ibrahim Nseir, pastor in Aleppo, works to be a 'sign of hope'
Ibrahim Nseir was chatting at a Beirut hotel in late November with others attending a gathering of Protestant leaders from around the Middle East and beyond when a call came from his wife in Aleppo, Syria.
She had just heard that one of the families in their Presbyterian congregation had a rocket land in front of their house at midnight. It blew out the windows, covering the sleeping family with shards of glass. The family survived.
The church where Nseir is pastor was shelled twice earlier in the war and rebuilt. He saw the bodies of ten children killed by a missile. He was visiting patients when a hospital was bombed. A family of five was killed in front of his church.
