DAY 6:Refugees...a voice for the voiceless

A refugee is a person who flees his/her home to escape invasion, oppression, or persecution. They genuinely risk serious human rights abuses.

* There are about 10.6 million refugees and 25.8 million internally displaced people (IDP) worldwide

* 75-80% of the world refugees are women and children

* Women and children refugees are vulnerable to violence and exploitation by military and immigration personnel, bandit groups, male refugees and rival ethnic groups

* Asia and Africa host the majority of the world's refugees and 18.1 million IDPs.

PRAY: God is compassionate. Ex. 34:6

* That God would comfort displaced people, heal their memories and give them a new home to live.
* That the churches would reach out and open their homes and hearts to immigrants and refugees.
