I do too.

There are a growing number of converts, before it was very dangerous to do that. (not as much in Syria as other nearby nations)

There were 2 Christian churches in Efrin (Afrin) before Turkey Invaded. They were displaced by Turkey with their invasion and the ISIS and al Qaeda (Nusra) that were in the Turkey affiliated FSA.

There is a Christian Church in Kobani. Where the first victory over ISIS took place (with our air support) in 2014. There have always been Syriac Christians in Iraq and Syria. Other persecuted groups escaped genocide in Turkey, Iran, Iraq by fleeing to Syria. Northern Syria is far removed from Damascus, so the local always cooperated more than those near the capital.

I have some maps that show Christian communities in Iraq and Syria. There are (in some cases were) more than you think.

You might find these interesting:

The last one has a color legend for groups.
