Alawite People of Syria
by Ken McLemore
Overview: In January of 2004 LBC signed an agreement with field personnel to try and reach the Alawite people of Syria. The Alawites are a Muslim group of about 1.5 million people who are totally unreached. They are considered outcasts or liberal by many of the more prominent Muslim groups in Syria and Lebanon. Yet by law they are leaders in the government.
They are very open to westerners, which makes this a prime candidate for us to focus upon.
