[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother lived in a refugee camp for her first 5+ years.  When it was clear her home country was not stabilized/safe, she was properly processed with her family into the US for which we are ever grateful.  I am not sure why people think the situation in Syria cannot be turned around and people go home to their farms and businesses.  Camps can be orderly, well run places with grocery stores, community events, schools, etc. Is it ideal? No. Should it be permanent like the Burmese in Thailand? No. But most of these people are economic refugees, much like the illegal immigrants who come to the US for economic purposes.  Pakistanis, Afghans, etc. unless they are fleeing a specific threat--ie they are from a minority religious group being targeted--should stay and invest in the countries. People from true conflict zones should be in protected no-fly camps until they can return home and rebuild.  The true travesty is that the refugee camps for Syrians appear to be far safer/more stable than the UN "protected' camps in Africa. Why not opening homes to South Sudanese etc? 
The solution is not open borders. It is safe haven camps that are truly protected, and political and economic and military investment in stabilizing the regions so people can return home to their cultures, communities and livlihoods.[/quote]

You are  100% correct. The Nazarene Fund is doing just this with Christian refugees from the Middle-East. Australia is the latest country to agree to take these refugees. Some are being re-located in Northern Iraq, where they are safe from ISIS, into lovely apartments fully renovated by the fund. They also are set up with jobs and given free rent for a year until they get on their feet. The people at first did not trust those running the program, screamed "Why should we trust you when you forgot us?" This included some of the priests. When told they were not forgotten, they were setting up and needed a bit of time, the priests and people are breaking down in tears, realizing they never were forgotten from the hearts and minds of people around the world. The stories are truly touching.

The fund fully vets these people and not ONE Christian relocated to date has ever given anyone an ounce of trouble. The churches in the host countries/areas take these people in as their own. It's truly amazing, what is being accomplished.

I'm so glad that your family has survived and is now safe.
