2023-09-06 Today, I want to share with you the story of a brother in Christ in Iraq. Over the past decade, he has faced one obstacle after another in his attempts to start up his coffee shop business.
When ISIS swept in, he was set back yet again. With your support, however, we provided him with equipment to offset the initial start-up costs.
Through this simple gift, we were able to restore a dream that was broken and help this determined believer get back on his feet.
