Hope for Iraqi Christians after years of Barnabas campaigning

The Iraqi government has pledged to help exiled Christians return to their homeland after thousands were forced to flee amid intense persecution. The new Iraqi ambassador to the Vatican, Habbeb Mohammed Hadi Ali Al-Sadr, in a statement following a meeting with the Pope last month, said the government had taken steps to preserve the country’s Christian heritage and culture.  It follows years of campaigning on behalf of the decimated Iraqi Christian community on an international stage by Barnabas Fund.  Mr Al-Sadr said: “For its part, the government has committed itself to all those who return, to give them a job, a plot to rebuild their homes and 1.5 million Iraqi dinars.”

He affirmed that the Iraqi Constitution sanctions the total equality of rights for Christians and also gave them the possibility of creating a semi-autonomous region like Kurdistan. Please pray that the work of the Barnabas Fund continues.

Holiday Bible Club 2010 – Noah’s Ark Poems

On Day 2 of HBC 2010 ‘The Forgotten Kingdom’ the children had to write a poem on Noah’s Ark. There are a number of good poems, but three in particular where chosen for an extra points prize. They are reproduced below:

Poem 1

“Here we go into the ark,
From a tiny mouse to a great white shark.
We all go in two by two,
All you can hear is roar, squawk and moo.
God commanded us to go to the boat,
We’re all praying the huge thing floats.
The sinful people though Noah was far,
Building such a large wooden craft.
The rain started to pour down,
It also came up from the ground.
God thought Noah’s family were good and pure,
And they stayed on the boat for a year.
God told Noah, “I’ll put a rainbow in the sky,
To show you I’ll keep my promise and no more will die”" – Lois, aged 11

Poem 2

“Rain falling,
Wind howling,
Rivers rising,
Waves crashing,
Ark bobbing” – Jamie, aged 9

Poem 3

“Noah, Noah, Noah, can you build a boat?
Noah, Noah, Noah, can you make it float?
Noah, Noah, you know you could
Noah, Noah, you know you should!” – Katie, aged 8

Some may remember that Jim Memory was trying to sell his left hand drive Spanish car because of the cost of complying with UK regulations. Well it was bought by Beth and Roland Shuli to be driven to Albania! There they have plans to use their home in the Lord’s work both amongst military personnel and local people and their children. We pray that the Lord will bless both couples in their respective ministries.

Barry Davis writes from Nicaragua. This school year they have provided three new classrooms, which eases the pressure on the future building programme. The folk from Barry’s home church in Harrogate have been very helpful with building and with home-schooling. The school needs three new teachers next February and only one is in view so far. Susana has done well with her 6 monthly checkups which is a blessing. She is in charge of school finances and setting the level of fees. The family are praying about future plans with Joshua and Esther growing up.
