As war spreads into Iran, our brothers and sisters in the Middle East—especially in Iran and Iraq—are facing more danger, hardship, and isolation than ever before.



Below is a letter I received from a pastor in Iraq. His words speak for themselves and show just how urgently the Church needs our support:

Dear brothers and sisters, pastors, and servants of the Lord in Christ,

Warm greetings to you all.

As you know, Iraq—since the beginning of creation until now—has always been a land of interest and significance. It holds a central place and role in the events that have unfolded throughout history. God's plans for humanity have often passed through Iraq. The visions of the prophets of the Old Testament, their stories, their messages, and their footprints—all left a mark in this region.

That is why the conflicts, events, wars, and tensions we see today among the countries of the region are all part of God's broader plan.

We sense this clearly.

These days, both spiritual and military warfare are at their peak, between forces of darkness and messengers of peace.

The region is in desperate need of radical transformation.

Alongside this, your prayers are urgently needed for:

– The defeat of Islamic terrorism
– The release of the Israeli hostages
– And for the peace that Christ spoke of in John 14:27: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you."

Pray for us—that our families, our church members, and our ministries be protected from all evil and the appearance of evil. Iran has armed factions and militias, both Shia and others, active in our area, and we are at greater risk now than ever before—God forbid.

Our region is burning day by day.

Please pray for our ministries and the believers in Iran.

Communication is difficult—It is hard to know what's happening to our brothers on the other side. The political and economic situation is at its worst.



Pray without ceasing for your brothers and sisters in the Middle East—especially in Iraq and the surrounding countries.

We deeply value your prayers and your love—for the sake of Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Your brother in Christ,
(An Iraqi Pastor)

So, what can you do?

Here are a few meaningful ways to help right now:

1. Pray daily for believers in Iran, Iraq, and the Middle East.
2. Share this letter with others to spread awareness.
3. Give financially to ministries serving believers in crisis.
4. Encourage by letting us know you're praying—we'll pass your words along to believers in the region.
5. Keep watch, and don’t grow weary—your support brings real hope.

Even in the midst of suffering, the Church is growing. Let’s stand with them.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.” – John 14:27
