Iraq: The Peace Fund For Solidarity With The Churches
Originally set up to aid the Iraq Church facing crises in the midst of the devastation from 12 years of economic sanctions and three previous wars, the Iraq Church is now facing a new catastrophe brought on by the advance of ISIS/IS. With well over a million Iraqis displaced from their homes, the Iraq Church is seeking to respond with aid not only to Christians, but also to other religious groups who have lost everything. American Presbyterians have had a long love for, and a relationship with the mission and ministry of the people of Iraq, especially the Christians and Iraqi Presbyterians in particular. As "next of kin," PC(USA) has an opportunity to demonstrate genuine partnership with Iraqi Christians as they work to bring food, water, clothing, fuel, and shelter to so many who are in need of tangible signs of hope during these desperate days. Through giving to this fund, individuals and churches are able to stand in practical solidarity with the Iraq Church. Thank you for your generous financial, prayer, and advocacy partnership.
