This is precious!

The most recent Voice of the Mar­tyrs News spoke of Iraqi Chris­tians, and their plight (and many’s flight) from Bagh­dad. Although a hor­ri­ble time (one pas­tor said most of the men of his parish have been killed), I think Jesus smiles at what is hap­pen­ing amidst his con­gre­ga­tion, as the VOC con­tacts report:

“We are still in Bagh­dad. Nobody from our church group has left. We feel like we are called to con­tinue. We will not leave. Dan­ger is esca­lat­ing. We are in a worse sit­u­a­tion. Because of this, pas­tors are start­ing to get together to pray. They never met before. One brother vis­ited almost all the churches in Bagh­dad and encour­aged them to have a weekly morn­ing prayer meet­ing for Iraq. Now, about five or six denom­i­na­tions are gath­er­ing together every Tues­day morning.
