THE #7 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST The rise of Islamic State (IS) in 2014 has taken a huge toll on the country. Many people are nervous about the Islamic State even though several Christian towns have been recaptured by the Iraqi army. Converting from Islam to Christianity in an IS controlled area is practically a death warrant. Society appears to be growing more Islamic, making life more difficult for Christians.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray for protection for those who remain in Iraq, especially church leaders who feel called to stay and share the Gospel. Pray that the Iraqi children’s hearts and minds will be protected as they live in this warzone.
