National Day of Prayer for Iraq
From Missiopedia
- Pastors and leaders from all over Iraq recently came together and agreed to have a National Day of Prayer for their country. They are asking for churches around the world to join them in praying for Iraq on the 2nd of December. Please join them in praying on this day, and please encourage everyone in your network to join in prayer on this day as well. It will be very encouraging for us and for the Iraqi churches to know if you and your church will participate in praying on this day, to have a sense of how the Body of Christ around the world is standing with them in prayer. You will find several more specific prayer requests below, and some pictures attached from the prayer conferences of the last few years.
- Also, to put this in context, there has been a growing prayer movement in Iraq over the last few years. In 2005, the first National Prayer Conference in Iraqs history was held around 640 Iraqis from 17 different churches attended from across the country. This was a significant event, as it brought together believers from almost every existing church and denomination in Iraq. 670 Iraqis from 23 churches attended the 2nd National Prayer Conference in 2006, followed by the 3rd conference this past September 2007, which 604 Iraqis attended from 24 churches and a number of house churches, despite the many challenges involved in traveling across the country.
- nWe praise God for the awesome work He is doing in and through His Church in this country. Still, our brothers and sisters there need our prayers and to see a breakthrough in their nation on every level. Please join with us and the Iraqi Church December 2nd to pray for the Lord to build His Kingdom in Iraq!
