Iraqi and Syrian Christians Are Praying for Food
You’re the answer to their prayers!
Dear Friend in Christ,
Your fellow Christians in the Middle East are hungry and need food. Most of the world has forgotten about your Iraqi Christian brothers and sisters. But you’ve generously come to their aid before. And I’m praying to Almighty God that you are able to help more of these struggling people again today.
More than 2.5 million Iraqis are still homeless, half of them children. ISIS is still launching attacks against civilians. Two recent suicide bombings in Baghdad killed at least 32 civilians and wounded another 100 — the worst terrorist attack by ISIS in four years. And the ongoing crisis in Syria has forced thousands of refugees to flee into Iraqi Kurdistan and Jordan.
This turmoil and bloodshed create food insecurity for thousands of refugees — and our budget has been strained trying to feed these poor souls.
With your help again today, your hungry brothers and sisters in refugee camps will receive food.
- For $35, you can provide enough food for a family of four for one week.
- You can feed a family of four for two weeks for $70.
- You can feed a family of four for three weeks for $105.
- For $140, you can provide enough food to feed a family of four for four weeks.
Unless we can step up our aid, God forbid, some refugees could go hungry.
Also:
YES, Susan, I will help provide urgently-needed food and hope to suffering Iraqi Christians who still face persecution after surviving ISIS. I understand they need help now due to the impacts of COVID-19. To feed hungry families, I’m sending my tax-deductible gift:
Other families, like Marlene and her two children, will eat dinner tonight thanks to friends like you.
- Your assistance provides weekly spiritual and food nourishment as well as items of clothing to over 200 very poor families in the Saint George's Church congregation in Baghdad.
- 120 refugee families at the Assemblies of God Church in Jordan are relying on you for food and other assistance.
- Even more refugee families at the Greek Catholic Church also in Jordan need you today to secure food vouchers redeemable at local grocery stores.
- Your donation is needed to help the sick and injured with free medical care, including prescriptions, at our medical clinic in Saint George's Church in Baghdad — which serves over 1,000 patients per month of all faiths.
- You provide personal hygiene packets for Christian families who are in displacement camps in the Kurdistan region of Iraq to help them stave off COVID-19.
- More than a dozen small business startups in the Nineveh Plain region of Northern Iraq have been completed thanks to your support of our Nineveh SEED program — including bakeries, greenhouses, olive oil soap factory, bulgur wheat factory, chicken farms, and a beekeeping farm.
- The Olive Tree Center you helped establish in Madaba, Jordan, helps numerous Iraqi Christian refugees with food, education, workforce training, and counseling. With your continuing support, we’re planning to build another one of these Centers!
To provide greater food security, I also would like your help today to support business development projects in the Nineveh Plain of Iraq, the historical home of Christians. Through our Nineveh SEED Program, we are supporting projects which bring employment, much-needed food, and further stability for Christians who want to remain in their homeland after enduring the ravages of the ISIS horror.
So please, take a minute right now and tell me how many needy Iraqi Christian families you can help feed — families who could still go hungry without your help again today.
We are making tremendous progress in our areas of concentration. Your donations will help us continue this progress, reaching even more of those in need and hunger.
Yours in Christ,
Susan Greer
