I am excited to share that I will be a part of a team that will leave October 31st to go spend 2 weeks in Northern Iraq! Hear The Cry has felt called into Iraq due to the turmoil and refugee situations, a country that for the most part, nobody is going into. Jesus calls us into the places that everybody else is running away from. We will enter into this beautiful historic country in the northern Kurdish region of Iraq to love like Jesus and partner with The Refuge Initiative which is an organization that is working in the region where so many are escaping to from ISIS. Their goal is to build camps of refuge, restore dignity and hope, and provide pathways back to independent living for those running from the persecution.  

Here is a link to The Refuge Initiative's website where you can check out the different things we may be partnering with, when in country: http://therefugeinitiative.org

I am so looking forward to seeing and experiencing a new country in a region of the world that I have never been to. Thank you so much for your financial support and most importantly for your prayers as we begin to plan the trip and form the team. While we are in country please pray that we can bless the family we are staying with and partner with them to be willing hands and feet of Jesus to work with and love on the people of Soran, Iraq!
