During a visit to the US, Fr. Ben met with Bishop Armash, the Armenian Apostolic Bishop of Damascus, who helps steward funds for Syrian and Armenian projects for Nasarean. They met at the Prelacy in New York City and spoke of the suffering of the Syrian people and the grave threats against Armenia. They last met in Damascus in 2019, so it was a blessed reunion. Bishop Armash gifted Fr. Ben a beautiful plate with the Lord's Prayer in Armenian on it.
