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.
