Asa Kent Jennings and the Armenian Genocide

"His name was Asa Kent Jennings, and he is worth remembering now at the centennial of the Armenian genocide. His memory is also timely now that the problem of Christian persecution has arisen again in the Mideast and refugees are flooding out of Africa seeking safety in Europe (pri.org)."

The foregoing quote is from an article by Lou Ureneck on PRI's The World which was published on April 24, 2015. The article is tittled: The American who saved 250,000 from death during the Armenian genocide. I was actually going to share it as a comment, since it is a related story, on my previous blog post which was titled: The Armenian Genocide; however, after giving it some thought I decided that it was worthy of being independent. I hope you enjoy. The link is below.
