Iraq Partnership Duhok Appeal

Presbyterian Church in Iraq and
Synod of the Nile in Egypt/POMC

Thank you for your response to the Erbil Church generator appeal this spring, which is allowing this church to hold services and help local families in their new meeting space. Your generous gifts are helping fuel Christ’s global mission in Iraq, literally and figuratively.

The church in Iraq is growing, indeed! As a result of the partnership between the Presbyterian Church in Iraq and the Synod of the Nile in Egypt, a fourth church has been planted. Located in Duhok, this new church plant will be pastored by Adel Hanin from the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo, another Outreach partner. Pastor Adel, pictured here with his family, is the fourth Egyptian pastor sent to serve in Iraq. Pastor Manassa Nesem, Executive Director of the Pastoral, Outreach, and Mission Council (POMC) in Egypt, shared this joyful news and need:

The Lord has blessed us with the rental of a three-story house in the Duhok area to plant a church. The first and second floors will be used for worship and church activities, while the third floor will be used as a residence for the pastor. However, this residence is currently empty and needs furnishings for this family. Adel and his wife, Fairooz, have two children. Fairooz is a pediatrician and will help provide medical care to the community. I thank the Lord for the historic collaboration between The Outreach Foundation and  POMC and kindly request assistance to continue the work in Duhok, as there is a great need for the presence of a church there.

As we shared in May, we believe the Lord is actively moving in this region of Iraq, and we are thrilled to stand with our partners there. Would you consider investing in what God is doing in this part of the world with a gift? We are so grateful for your partnership and generosity as we seek to fuel the global mission of Christ around the world together.
