Finding Hope in Iraq: God’s Word at Work
March 03, 2025
The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him. – Nahum 1:7
Life for the people of Iraq is filled with uncertainty. The country, once home to a flourishing Christian community, has seen dramatic changes due to ongoing conflicts and political unrest. Many believers live under constant pressure, and those who are seeking faith often do so in secrecy. But even in this difficult landscape, God’s Word is reaching hearts and transforming lives through THRU the BIBLE.
Through Arabic and Kurdish broadcasts, people in Iraq are hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Listeners are discovering hope and peace in God’s promises, and some are even courageously sharing His Word with others. As we lift up Iraq in prayer today, let’s remember those who are seeking truth and those who risk much to follow Jesus.
Here’s a testimony from a new listener in Iraq:
“My name is Ahmad and I’m 17 years old. I have been listening to your programs for a few months now. I find it very inspiring! I would really like to learn more about Christianity, who Jesus really is, what the Bible is, and how to read it.”
Ahmad is experiencing the power of the gospel, even in a country where faith must be lived in secret. Praise God for the hunger He has placed in young hearts like Ahmad’s.
Let’s pray for him and many others like him who are discovering God’s truth. May they find courage, wisdom, and protection as they seek to know Jesus more deeply. Let’s also pray for those who are sharing the gospel in Iraq, that they would be strengthened and encouraged in their mission.
Prayer Points
- Pray for strength – That believers in Iraq will be strengthened as they walk with God in difficult circumstances.
- Pray for courage – That those who are hearing the gospel for the first time will be bold in their faith and find ways to study God’s Word.
- Pray for open hearts – That those who do not know Jesus yet will be receptive to the Good News and embrace Jesus as their Savior.
