Political upheaval in Iraq and Syria has opened doors for many Syrians and Iraqis to hear the gospel for the first time. These previously hard-to-access-peoples are experiencing the tangible love of Jesus Christ as believers meet some of their most desperate needs. Syrian refugees have poured into Iraq, and past events have caused a wave of displaced Iraqis. This crisis presents an opportunity to meet their physical, emotional, and educational needs and enables long-term workers to share the gospel with Syrian refugee families/groups and displaced Iraqi families/groups. They have significant physical needs in almost all situations and experience relational and social seclusion in their displaced living environments.
Your gift will open doors to meet needs, share the message of Christ’s love, and fulfill a vision for them to know God’s lasting peace. Give today while this unique window of opportunity is open. Thousands of Syrians and Iraqis who would not otherwise hear about hope, peace, and salvation through Christ will gain access to the gospel because of your partnership in this unprecedented opportunity.
