Dear Church,
Matthew*
and his family (right) were driven from their home in Mosul, Iraq, by
ISIS, and for the last two years have lived under tents and tarps.
This month, they and nine other families are moving into new micro homes complete with plumbing and electric (see below).
We
were able to help them because you and a few precious others in the
Christian community in the West care about their persecuted brother and
sister and live out the Lord's commands:
Isaiah
58:6. Is this not the fast which I choose. . .to divide your bread with
the hungry; to cover (the naked) and not hide yourself from your own
flesh?
The actual homes the families will receive
We Rarely Ask
You may have noticed that we rarely ask you for funds. As you know, that's highly unusual in the nonprofit world but we don't have any professional fundraising staff and we stay focused on ministry.
Part of the reason I rarely ask for help is that I want people to know that when we do ask, we really need their help.
Now is that time!
Did
you know that 40% to 50% of our funds to serve the persecuted in 2017
will come in during this November and December? What we receive in the
next two months will largely determine what we can do for the persecuted
in 2017!
Therefore, would you please give a generous gift to the persecuted
here at year end?
here at year end?
The persecuted are worthy of your time, treasure, and
talent, and I plead with you on their behalf: Come and
be gracious to them!

Please remember that whatever you give on their behalf will be used ethically, efficiently, and effectively.
I promise!
