Dear Friend in Christ,

You and your family's health are in my prayers during this time of uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. Here in Iraq, the deadly coronavirus has spread across my country following the rampant outbreak in Iran. 

With a severe lack of access to quality health care here, the people are scared — especially those still huddled in the refugee camps because their homes were destroyed by ISIS terrorists.

If the virus gets into the refugee camps here, it will be disastrous.

Your suffering Christian brothers and sisters in Iraq urgently need the hope and healing only you can provide this Easter. 

You and I know that without the Cross there is no Salvation. Without the suffering of Good Friday, we wouldn’t have the joy of Our Lord’s Resurrection at Easter.
 

YES, Canon Jerjees, as violence continues and the coronavirus spreads — and with Christians on the verge of being wiped out in Iraq — I want to help my suffering brothers and sisters during this holy Easter season. To help give hope and healing to the persecuted Christians of Iraq, I’m sending my tax-deductible Easter gift:

Right now, Iraqi Christians are in the time of suffering. We see violence, persecution, and death all around us. The immense fear that another bloody war is on the horizon is paralyzing. The coronavirus outbreak has only made matters worse.

That’s why I’m praying the Lord will touch your heart today to once again help the suffering Christians of Iraq during our 2020 Easter Campaign.

Please rush back your most generous Easter offering of $25, $50, $100, or even more if you’re able TODAY.

After surviving the genocide campaign waged by ISIS, Iraq’s Christians continue to face great hardship. Their homes and businesses were left in ruins. Many are still waiting to return home — but fear they never will.

In fact, your generosity is needed today to continue supporting more than 6,000 Christian Iraqi refugees in Jordan who rely on your help. They lost everything when they fled Iraq and ISIS. Your donations provide food vouchers, medicines, accommodation support, and much more ... 

The recent uprisings against the Iraqi government — which left hundreds dead and thousands more wounded — could spark up again at any moment. And the deadly coronavirus could wipe out thousands.

We must be prepared to reach out with the love of Christ and offer hope and healing to our suffering brothers and sisters. We MUST help Iraq’s Christians to survive and rebuild during this time of suffering and uncertainty. Because the reality is ...


... The ongoing persecution of Christians and targeted terror attacks threaten to wipe out Christianity in Iraq.
 

That’s why I’m praying you’ll respond right away to help my suffering people during the holy Easter season.

Please rush back your 2020 Easter gift of $25, $50, $100, or even more today to provide Iraqi Christians with urgently-needed humanitarian aid, medicine, help to rebuild their communities, and hope for a peaceful future. 

Sincerely yours in Christ,
