They&rsquo;re probably not the work of a budding Michelangelo, but they depict your child&rsquo;s worldview and the things they&rsquo;re interested in: family members, pets, cars.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I saw some children&rsquo;s artwork that shocked me. I was in the heart of a refugee tent settlement in Lebanon, where thousands of Syrian families live after fleeing <a href=\"\/refugees-news-stories\/syrian-refugee-crisis-facts\">war in their country<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>World Vision&rsquo;s local staff welcomed me into a colorfully decorated room, alive with the voices and energy of dozens of primary-school-age children. The girls and boys here had been asked to divide a piece of paper in half with crayons and draw their life before the war on one side, their life after on the other.<\/p>\n<p>The left, &ldquo;before&rdquo; side featured generally happy drawings of well-dressed people, houses, flowers, and sunshine. The heartbreaking artwork on the right showed rockets, bombs, dead bodies, and bloodshed.<\/p>\n<p>Can you imagine your own children or grandchildren bringing home drawings like these? Go a little further: Picture the child you love living through the chaos and violence of war, and now he or she is trying to survive in a refugee camp in a flimsy tent in the dead of winter.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote pullquote--full\">The King will reply, &lsquo;Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.&rsquo;<cite class=\"attribution\">&mdash;Matthew 25:40 (NIV)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<p>Often we can&rsquo;t help feeling indifferent toward people who are distant from us emotionally, socially, or geographically. We just don&rsquo;t care as much about other people&rsquo;s children as we do our own. But God loves each of these children, no matter where they live. God&rsquo;s heart is broken for any child who suffers, because every one of them is his child.<\/p>\n<p>And today, the greatest tragedy affecting somebody else&rsquo;s children is the Syrian refugee crisis. Of the 12 million people who have been displaced by the conflict, half are children. Children yanked from their toys, bedrooms, and friends now see their world as a very different place. They have lost loved ones and witnessed things no child should ever see. With many schools damaged in Syria and overcrowded classrooms in the neighboring countries, 2.6 million children are no longer in school.<\/p>\n<p>Because World Vision is in the business of supporting the care of other people&rsquo;s children, we have been responding to the Syria refugee crisis, helping families who have fled to Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>Foundational to our care for children who have experienced trauma is the use of Child-Friendly Spaces. It was in one such Child-Friendly Space in Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, that I saw the children&rsquo;s drawings. Here, staff and volunteers provide a safe place for children to remember what it&rsquo;s like to be a child again.<\/p>\n<p>Construction paper flowers and colorful posters festooned the walls. The volunteers &mdash; Syrian refugees themselves &mdash; gently guided the children through discussions about their feelings, encouraging healing after their traumatic experiences. There was also plenty of music, singing, dancing, and play. The kids take the games and songs they learn here back to the dismal tents or basement apartments they call home and share them with siblings and friends &mdash; extending the brief moments of fun. (<a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.worldvision.org\/stories\/syrian-refugees-childhood-lost-and-found\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more.<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>These children may be 10,000 miles away from us; they may speak a different language and follow a different religion than ours. But none of that matters. They are precious in God&rsquo;s sight. God loves them, and he wants us to love them in his name. Because when we do, he tells us in Matthew 25:40, it&rsquo;s the same as loving him.<\/p>\n<p>Picture these children feeling that they&rsquo;re loved by American Christians. Imagine how that could change their worldview.<\/p>\n<p>[vc_separator]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">World Vision U.S. President Rich Stearns is the author of <em>The Hole In Our Gospel<\/em> and <em>Unfinished<\/em>.
