Help Fulfill the Great Commission in Iraq
Security issues keep Christians from attending local churches in many areas, but they grow in the Lord through worship and study of God’s Word through a WhatsApp group, including questions and answers.
Support Gospel Outreach in Iraq
In evangelism training for Christians who were raised as Muslims, new believers from every province enjoyed fellowship as they learned how to share the Bible with Muslims. Native ministry workers also taught them ways for Christians of Muslim upbringing to meet the dangers of living in Islamic society in a way pleasing to the Lord. Students facing such dangers also learned from each other. “There were great testimonies for those present,” the ministry leader said. “All of them, without exception, face the danger of death.” Donations are needed for such evangelism and discipleship training, Bibles and gospel outreach. Pray for the safety of workers and new believers.
Help Send the Salvation Message in Iraq
Native Christian workers have multiple opportunities to share the gospel as they distribute Bibles, tend to the needs of refugees and the internally displaced and bring medical care to the poor.

Help Spread the Gospel in Iraq
Ministering to people of varied ethnicities and religions, native Christian workers focused on one group after their ethnic religious rite. “The Lord allowed many of them to accept Christ after we delivered the gospel and Bibles to them,” the ministry leader said.
With ISIS in Pursuit, He Couldn’t Save His Daughter
The father of a displaced family in Iraq recently told Christian workers how he loaded up 21 relatives onto a pick-up truck to flee Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists in 2014. “Fadhil* suddenly saw in the mirror that his daughter, Lina*, had fallen from the vehicle, and the wheels of ISIS were not far behind them,” the native ministry leader said. “He was faced with a painful choice: Should he stop for his daughter, or continue on to save the rest of his family?” Silently agonized, Fadhil said nothing to his relatives of what he had seen.
Provide Christ’s Healing and Salvation in Iraq

Help Fulfill the Great Commission in Iraq
Security issues keep Christians from attending local churches in many areas, but they grow in the Lord through worship and study of God’s Word through a WhatsApp group, including questions and answers.

Teacher Who Fled Islam Faces Children of ISIS Militants
A young man in Iraq who had left Islam to follow Christ recently began teaching school in an area where children of Islamic State (ISIS) fighters were living.

Christ’s Wonders Advance Kingdom in Iraq
For 10 years a veteran of the Iraq-Iran war wondered how he could respond to Christ for having freed him from needing a wheelchair. Years after losing use of his legs, Mustafa Abbas* was watching a Christian progam on a satellite channel in 2011 when he followed the speaker’s encouragement to pray in Christ’s name for healing, he told ministry workers in his native Iraq.
Help the Internally Displaced and Refugees in Iraq
More than 1 million internally displaced people and refugees remain unable to return home due to military destruction or ongoing violence, about half of them children. Some of these people have lost loved ones to Islamic extremists or other militants, and all have lost their homes and jobs.
