Note from Steve Shultz
------------------------
Jesus Prophesied that wars were determined
until the end. However,
He also said that when things are at their
darkest . . . Isa 60:2
See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the
LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Isa 60:2 NIV
and The word also promises that, no matter
what . . . .
". . . the people that do know their
God shall be strong, and do exploits. Dan 11:32
Be encouraged by this report from Intercessors
Network about The Children's Bible about to be distributed to the Children in
Iraq, and also about the Revival Spreading there as well---the very thing that
many of you have been crying out to God for . . . .

"PERSECUTION AND REVIVAL
THRIVE IN POST-SADDAM IRAQ"
an Update from Intercessor's Network

FIRST CHILDREN’S BIBLE FOR
IRAQ’S KURDS TO BE DISTRIBUTED
The United Bible Society and the International Bible
Society will distribute the first-ever children’s Bible in the Kurdish language
in northern Iraq, despite concern about Muslim extremism in the region. Although
funds are not totally in place, both organizations expect 20,000 copies of the
book, 365 Stories from the Bible, to be delivered later this year, said United
Bible Society official Nova Hagopian, an Iraqi believer.
”This distribution would have been impossible
in the past,” he said. ”Under Saddam Hussein’s regime there were a lot of checkpoints
between Kurdish controlled areas (in northern Iraq) and the rest of the country.”
Concern about Muslim extremism in the region remains, but with borders disappearing,
new chances have emerged to spread the gospel. ”We have also seen that many
Kurdish Muslims are asking questions and accepting Christ as their Savior. That
number is expected to increase now that the war is over, so there is a big need
for a children’s Bible,” Hagopian said. Since 1985 his organization imported
an estimated 1.5 million Bibles in Iraq and more than 5 million New Testaments
as well as other Christian publications. ”We now hope to import many more books,”
he said.
IRAQI CHRISTIANS RISK THEIR LIVES FOR
CHRIST AS REVIVAL SPREADS
Iraqi Christians have become the target of attacks
by Muslim extremists and bandits and are risking their lives to attend church
services. They race through the streets to reach their destinations every Sunday
as an increasing number of believers have been killed or wounded in Muslim violence
against Christian shops and against Christian women who refuse to wear scarves.
Despite the persecution, church leaders and missionary workers say Iraq is heading
towards its biggest spiritual revival ever after decades of fear and hardship
during the regime of Saddam Hussein. Amid the ongoing death and destruction,
Iraqis of all religions nationwide are putting their faith in Christ.
