The Nazarene Fund for Expatriation of Persecuted Christians in the Middle East
September 3rd, 2015 · 2 Comments · Disaster Relief
The image you see to your left is the Arabic character ن, or “Nūn”. Normally it’d be a beautiful character in a beautiful alphabet, but its meaning has been perhaps forever tarnished by the way it’s been used in the wars of the Middle East.
