Family Forced to Flee

Iraq
the Middle East

August 4, 2011

A nine-year-old girl in IRAQ had to flee with her family when they received a death threat in their mailbox. The letter called them “Christian dogs” and ordered them to leave in 24 hours. The family took with them what little they could. The young girl was willing to give up her toys as long as she could pack her Bible.

Praise God that the family is now in a region that is relatively safer. “...He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
