After a decade in which Doura’s Iraqi Christian community has been robbed, kidnapped and murdered by Islamist extremists, it finds itself offering sanctuary to an ever-dwindling flock.

“Doura was once one of the biggest Christian communities in Iraq, with 30,000 families, Now there are only 2,000 left. They feel they are strangers in their own land, and that makes them want to leave. The bleeding from migration is continuous.”

Thanks Mr. Bush, thanks Mr. Blair.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Iraq as well as those across the world who live with persecution and threat of death for their faith in our LORD.
