Something beautiful is happening in Iraq.

This fall, the National Evangelical Baptist Church in Baghdad has been buzzing with life.  At their October revival service in Dohuk, a minister named Milad was baptized.

His story is one of family conflict, a father’s fear of the community’s judgment, and eventually, reconciliation with God.

“After a struggle with God, I reconciled with Him,” Milad shared, “and accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior, Lord, and Master.”

We praise God the Church’s reach keeps expanding.  Their missionary team brought a program on love and peace to 100 children at a local sports forum.

At the Iraq International Book Fair, young believers from Muslim backgrounds joined the team to share the gospel with visitors. 

Over 100 women gathered for a conference on navigating life’s challenges.

And at Christmas, 180 children and 150 of their family members filled the church for worship and celebration. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Looking Ahead

• January brought a dedicated season of prayer and fasting.

How You Can Pray 

The church faces practical challenges:

• Transportation costs
• Generator fuel during electricity shortages
• Building rent in Baghdad, and
• Support for the growing congregation in Dohuk.

These needs are real, but so is the fruit.
