Bibles for Iraq' Project Puts Word Into Welcoming Hands
Allie Martin and Jenni Parker, Agape Press
A recent visitor to the Middle East says there is a huge need for copies
of God's word in the war-torn nation of Iraq. Vernon Brewer, president
of World Help, recently met in Cairo, Egypt, with a ministry worker who
helps distribute Bibles in Iraq. He says the Egyptian "Bibles for Iraq"
project director had just returned from a week in Iraq, where he was
overseeing the distribution process of the New Testaments the Word Help
ministry is providing. "He told me that their convoy had been fired upon
by terrorists," the ministry spokesman says, "thankfully, they were not
hit." Brewer notes, "We're networking with 72 churches. We're building a
training center in the middle of Baghdad to train pastors and church
planters, and we're distributing hundreds of thousands of Bibles. God's
moving there, and it's incredible what He's doing." And Brewer says
Bibles are in great demand in Iraq. "I've learned that the Iraqi people
love to read," he says. "They've asked us for more and more New
Testaments, and because it's open right now and there's no oppressive
regime, many of them are open [to the gospel]." World Help's president
says although the official handover of power to Iraqi officials took
place this week, the ministry will still be able to distribute New
Testaments in the region because of its network of volunteers in the
Middle East.
SOUNDS GREAT.
