Iraq
CHURCH PLANTING - $18,000 (£14,007)
The city of Sulaymaniyah, Iraq has a population of 1.5 million people and only 200 Christians. We’ve partnered with a bold pastor to plant a church in this hostile nation. Despite persecution and even having his wife and children taken away from him because of his faith, he continues to share the Gospel and disciple new believers.
SEWING PROJECT - $10,800 (£8,404)
The Sewing Project serves Yazidi widows who have suffered unimaginable horrors at the hands of ISIS. A hopeless situation, with no husband and no job skills to provide for their family, has turned into an unexpected opportunity for a new life. These women are learning an in-demand skill, experiencing the love of Christ and having conversations with their instructors who are sharing the truth of the Gospel.
SYRIAN REFUGEE RELIEF - Food pack: $20 (£16), Bedding set: $36 (£29)
With Turkey’s recent advances against Syrian Kurds, the Middle East has once again been faced with hundreds of thousands of displaced people. 60,000 of these refugees have fled into northern Iraq where World Compassion is helping provide diapers, baby formula, food, clothes, blankets and sleeping mats for these families. You can help bring hope to Syrian families this Christmas by providing some of their basic needs.

ABC AUDIO DEVICES - $96,000 (£74,714)
Through our connections with the underground church in China, we’ve recently provided 2,000 ABC audio sets to believers who have been forgotten. These Christians are underprivileged, uneducated, poor people who love God and want to share their faith, but have very little spiritual nourishment. We can deliver another 8,000 sets for only $12 (£9.34) per device containing our entire ABC program.
