Proof The Bible Is True

While in Iraq recently, I was pleased to meet several Christians who are serving their neighbors, even in the midst of their own personal suffering. These “Jesus followers” have lost almost everything that this world values, and they continue to boldly proclaim their faith. They shine brightly in a place that has been darkened by loss, sorrow and hopelessness.

I was reminded of Zephaniah 3:9, where God promises to restore. He will restore so that “they all may call on the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one accord.” Another translation reads “serve him shoulder to shoulder.” That is exactly what we are called to do: to serve God shoulder to shoulder with our family members.

One of the deepest joys for field workers who serve with The Voice of the Martyrs is to stand with these sisters and brothers who are courageously and faithfully following Jesus in the most difficult circumstances.

An Iraqi sister lost everything in Mosul and was forced to flee to a neighboring city. Now, she labors every day, ministering to those who have also been displaced. As she suffers personally, she ministers to those who are suffering in similar ways, at the same time and in the same location.

In this brief video, listen as she asks for your prayers.
