There are Nazarene churches in affected areas of Syria, and after the first tremor, the pastors and members of these churches immediately began serving their neighbors in need. Having escaped without damage, each church is open as a shelter for people who are afraid or unable to return home, and both congregations are distributing hot meals and blankets. In Aleppo, church members have visited hospitals and shelters to pass out cold-weather gear, food, and medicine.
Nazarenes churches worldwide are currently engaged in relief efforts in Syria through funds and supplies. A Nazarene Compassionate Ministry partner organization in Germany, Helping Hands, coordinates deliveries of essential items. The Church of the Nazarene has no congregations in Turkey. Any relief efforts there will be centered on supporting partner organizations as needed
