Iraqi Viewers Plead for Prayer - October 14, 2008
SAT-7 viewers living in Iraq send text messages asking for urgent prayer for violence in Mosul to stop.
According to published reports, at least seven Iraqi Christians have been killed in recent days and as many as 3,000 Iraqi Christians have fled the northern Iraqi city of Mosul due to severe pressure from extremists. Other reports have stated that Christian homes have been bombed and leaflets passed around threatening Christians with death unless they convert to Islam or pay a jizya tax that marks them as second-class citizens.
Christians in the Middle East and North Africa
What do you know about Middle Eastern and North African Christian communities? Did you know that in the year 1900, Arab Christians made up about 20% of the local population? Now that number is now only about 4% across the region and continues to decrease in many areas.There are still sizable numbers of Christians in some countries, but they need our help. Many have limited or no access to Christian training or other materials that can help disciple new followers of Christ and train emerging leaders so that local churches survive and thrive. But satellite TV is reaching even the most remote areas.
