Fighting Injustice With Art and FaithSample

The stories of Rohingya refugees in south east Asia, fleeing violence are stories of real people who are vulnerable to trafficking today. They are also stories that highlight the incredible resilience of the human spirit.

Even without literacy or formal documentation, they preserve their memories and cultural identity through oral storytelling, particularly through poetic songs known as tarana. These shared narratives become powerful and creative ways that people share their pain.

Their stories remind us that human dignity and the quest for justice endure, even in the most dire circumstances.

Historical Highlight:

For the Rohingya, these tarana serve as an example of how the deep cry of the heart for justice cannot be silenced. Their artistic expressions are a testament to the fact that God puts in every human heart a desire for Him and a desire for justice.

Action Point:

There are people groups like the Rohingya around the world that need the God of justice and His church to move on their behalf. Pray today that God will hear the cries of the Rohingya and also that believers will minister God's love to them in their need so that they will know Him.
