Help Share Christ's Love with the People of Iraq

You can help win the ultimate battle for Iraq—the battle for the hearts of its people. Obviously, outreach in Iraq has long been difficult. The possibility of violence, bombings, and kidnappings is ever-present. The economy is in disarray. Religious tensions are high.

But even in the midst of this, there has been a tremendous response as the love and message of Christ continues to be shared with many. As Bibles, evangelistic films/literature, and Bags of Blessing (each filled with enough food to feed a family of seven for a week) are distributed, hearts are being softened for Christ!

In fact, in one small Iraqi town, the local mosque announced over a loudspeaker the arrival of Christians offering free food, Bibles, and a video about Jesus!

This happened when a team visited a village in Iraq and approached its mayor. They shared that they wanted to distribute food (Bags of Blessing), Bibles, and a video about Jesus. The mayor immediately sent for the local Mullah (religious leader). Team members wondered uneasily what the response would be.

Within minutes, the Mullah came to the mayor's office. The mayor shared that this team had come to distribute food, Bibles, etc.—and asked the Mullah to broadcast the news through the mosque's loudspeakers. Amazingly, the Mullah agreed! Soon, the speakers that usually broadcast Arabic prayers were announcing the news that Christians were in town with food and Bibles. Staff commented that the Bibles were in even higher demand than the food!

Amazing. Praise God for such open doors and open hearts! As people like you reach out to share the compassion and message of Christ in Iraq, lives are being transformed. With the humanitarian situation still critical, however, there remains much work to be done.

Right now, there is an urgent need for 10,000 more Bags of Blessing. With high unemployment and continuing violence, the Iraqis urgently need these provisions ... and the message of peace and hope that comes along with them as Bibles and literature are offered as well. Will you help?

Each Bag of Blessing—full of rice, cooking oil, powdered milk, and other non-perishable foods to feed a family of seven for a full week—costs just $39. That breaks down to just 26 cents per meal—26 cents to show an Iraqi that they have not been forgotten and that Christ is real and cares about everyday needs.

A gift of $78 will feed 14 people for an entire week; $273 will feed 49 people! If God has blessed you financially, a gift of $546, $1,092 or more can provide for the needs of many more people and point them to Christ.
