Each One a Treasure

Here’s just a few of the children we visited after our meeting at the Governor's Office. These are the very types of children we will be serving through the churches in this particular region.

Keep in mind that most of them have already been in the system for many years, often abandoned as babies.

THE GIRL'S HOME

"H" - Her father was killed under Saddam Hussein. Her mother then remarried. The new husband didn't want her or her sister, so they were given to paternal grandparents. The siblings were treated badly and eventually abandoned.

May He continue to open doors for our work in Iraq.
