🚨 A mother inside a refugee camp in Iraq needs your prayers tonight.
Yara* watched her world fall apart in a matter of minutes.
Armed militants broke into her home in the middle of the night. One of the men tried to take her oldest daughter.
Her husband stepped in to protect her.
Then more armed men entered the house.
Yara watched as they shot her husband… then her daughter.
Everything changed that night.
She fled with her two remaining children to a refugee camp in Iraq carrying grief no mother should ever have to carry.
And somehow, in the middle of all that loss, she began hearing about Jesus.
Inside the camp, local believers invited her to a Bible study. There, Yara heard about a Savior who moves toward broken and suffering people... not away from them.
Through Scripture, she slowly began to see herself differently. Not abandoned. Not forgotten. Not without worth.
Following Jesus in that region can come with an enormous cost. Rejecting Islam can mean losing your family, your safety, even your life.
But Yara is choosing Christ.
🙏 Please pray:
• For Yara as she walks through deep grief and trauma
• For her children, who have lost both their father and sister
• For protection over believers serving inside refugee camps across Iraq
• For women and families fleeing violence and persecution
Right now, World Challenge partners are serving widows, refugees, and orphaned children across Iraq, helping provide food, care, discipleship, and support to families living through unimaginable hardship.
Nearly 1.2 million Iraqis are living in refugee camps.
Each one carries a story.
And not one of them is forgotten by God.
