Christians Don’t Want to Return to a Rebuilt Mosul

Iraq flag4/8/2017  Iraq  (Christian Daily) 

The Iraqi government is reported to have begun reconstruction on war-torn cities, such as Mosul, encouraging refugees and displaced families to return to the country. Christians who fled Islamic State atrocities in Mosul, Iraq are still afraid that violence will return even after reconstruction. The Iraqi government has entered the city and has tried to let in only the authorities, but the civilian Shia militia is controlling most of the areas surrounding Mosul so non-government people are also entering the city.

Please pray…

  • Pray for the swift rebuilding of buildings, businesses and churches in Mosul.
  • Pray that God gives Christians strength to return to their homes so that a Christian witness will remain in these once-Christian regions of Iraq. 
  • Praise God that Mosul is no longer under ISIS control. Pray that civil war and inter-religious strife will not occur and cause new suffering for the people of Iraq.
