Share help and hope with the vulnerable!

If you are a Christian living in the Middle East, there is no doubt you have a target on your back.
I’ve read news recently about Christians en masse leaving their Muslim-dominated, Islamist-ruled home countries because of the cruelty they experience in their own families, communities, and workplaces.
Believers in many Mideast nations are intensely monitored, brutally persecuted, and consistently marginalized — especially if they’ve converted to Christianity from Islam.
According to a report by the American Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East:
“The population of Christians in the Middle East is now a mere 4%, down from nearly 20%—or 1.5 million—a century ago ..."
“Iraq’s Christian population has dwindled considerably due to conflict and terrorism. More than 80% have fled the country since 2003. An estimated 150,000 remain, just 0.4% of the country’s 42.6 million population ...
“In Syria, the situation is just as bleak, with over 10 million Christians fleeing intense sectarian violence over the last 20 years.”
It’s clear that LRI’s Christ-centered partners are desperately needed by the brothers and sisters who simply want to live and work in peace in the Middle East. Our partners are dedicated to strengthening the church in Iraq, Iran, Syria, and beyond ...
But we cannot do it without your help!
Every donation — large or small — from caring friends like you translates into:
Tangible help and hope.
Emergency food, water, and shelter.
Medical care.
Trauma counseling.
Discipleship training for new believers.
Bibles and Bible study materials.
And more!
Christians across the Middle East — and in other nations of the world — are some of the most vulnerable members of their societies.
Please reach out to them today with the hands of our compassionate Savior.
Thank you, and may God bless you!
