An indigenous Iraqi ministry distributes both food and spiritual sustenance to Iraqi’s displaced people.
by Brian Smith, EPC Director of Communications
As of October 16, EPC churches and individuals have given more than $75,000 to support Iraqi Christian relief through Christian Aid Mission (CAM). These gifts are supplying displaced people with food, clothing, beds, and medicine—and the opportunity to see the love of Christ demonstrated in a tangible way.
On October 9, CAM reported that a Kurdish Iraqi colonel leading a division in the fight against ISIS had accepted Christ through one of the Iraqi ministry teams assisted by Christian Aid Mission. Click here for the full article.
“I continue to be grateful for the generosity of our churches and individuals,” said EPC Stated Clerk Jeff Jeremiah. “Our gifts are making a difference. The atrocities committed by ISIS may have faded from the front page, but the need is still enormous.”
