The following photo is a picture of some Christian Iraqis worshipping in the open because their church was destroyed
This is one of another Christian church
The following picture is of a Christian church that had just been destroyed by a car bomb. This happened in Nov of 2004.
Before the war started in Iraq Christians were left somewhat alone as long as they did not attempt to proselytize.
In the last year Iraqi Christians have become a target of the insurgents (terrorists). Many blame the U.S. for this. The Iraqi Christians have started to proselytize, making themselves more openly known. Between this and the fact that the terrorists want to control the people through fear in an attempt to turn others away from Jesus and against the U.S. is the actual reason behind it.
It has caused many Iraqi Christians to flee the country. Yet there are still others that are staying, refusing to be cow towed.
we need to be praying for the Iraqi people also.
One more thing that I would like to point out. We also need to pray for the terrorists, that God gives his children complete victory over them in one way or another, hopefully that God opens their eyes and turns them away from their current path.
May God Bless All His People
