We serve Christians around the world whose brave faith in Jesus means they are, beaten, threatened, imprisoned, tortured, falsely accused, disowned and hated.

The church opened its doors

pattern

As a young boy living in Baghdad, Fadi experienced a lot of trauma when the Iraq war broke out in 2003. When he was studying for his exams, the electricity would often go out, so he’d revise by candlelight. But it wasn’t just the war that affected his childhood. Extremists have threatened and targeted Christians. On once occasion he was fortunate that a car bomb targeting a church he was in was found before it exploded. Despite all he has seen, Fadi has chosen to stay in Iraq and serve the Church.
