The advance of ISIS militants in Iraq sent tens of thousands of Christians fleeing from their homes with little more than what they could carry. Theyhave gathered in hastily assembled tent cities around Erbil. ICC’s donors responded to this urgent need by giving $150,000+ for their relief. Our regional manager and our advocacy manager went into Erbil in mid August to work with our local church partners to deliver food, water, blankets, mattresses, tents, baby food, and other practical needs. We have delivered $150,000+ in aid to these desperate believers. Learn more about how we’re assisting the victims of ISIS in Iraq in our October newsletter.

The U.S. government is calling for the release of Hkalam Samson, a prominent Baptist leader, who was arrested by the Myanmar military. State Department spokesman, Ned Price, told reporters recently, “We are extremely concerned for his well-being and safety and encourage our partners and allies to join us in calling on the regime to drop all charges and immediately and unconditionally release Rev. Samson.”
We praise God that the U.S. government is listening to the cries of the persecuted. Please pray for Hkalam Samson's safety!

Omar is a college student who grew up in a conservative Shia Muslim family. As a book seller, he accepted Christ into his life when he connected with a church organizing at a book tent in 2019. Though initially accepted by his immediate family, one of his family members was a leader in a terrorist group and threatened to kill him. Omar was even beaten while distributing Bibles. He fled town, but needed help from ICC to start a new life and worship in safety. Please continue to pray for Omar as he bravely shares the Gospel!
