Sri Lankan Refugee Children

Although the 26 year civil war in the country of Sri Lanka officially ended in 2009 (read more about the civil war), there are still over 2,400 Sri Lankan refugees living in Malaysia (read the latest UN report).

These refugees still feel apprehensive about returning to their homeland due to unresolved issues leftover from the war.  The UN & the USA are still seeking justice for many war crimes committed during the civil war (see article).

New Creation Revival Center, one of our churches in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has been ministering to these Sri Lankan refugees for some time now.  Their outreach includes a food bank, medical clinics and a three times a week English club for children (see above photos).  Most of the refugees are from a Hindu religious background.

We want to help the
New Creation Revival Center in sharing the love of Christ and the wonderful Gospel with these precious people and children. We have a kairos opportunity to reach these refugees while they are still in Malaysia.

We have 
25
 child  profiles  that have been prepared by People to People, our child sponsorship ministry. The sponsorship amount is $25 per month.
  
If you are interested in sponsoring a child please send us an email and we will give you a child profile and give you the information on where to send the support.  
 
Thank you very much!
