Today as part of our mission to Iraq, I’m reporting from “Ankawa 2 Ashti,” a Christian refugee camp in Erbil.

This isn’t a UN refugee camp. Christians fleeing Islamic persecution actually end up being persecuted by Muslim refugees in those very UN camps.

In this camp, however, Christians are safe to worship, women and girls can walk around with their heads uncovered, and the refugees have some basic amenities.

However, later this week we’ll be reporting from a camp where the conditions will be worse.

That’s why we’re here. In addition to telling you the story of Christian persecution in the Middle East, we’re distributing food hampers, and determining what other supplied these refugees need the most.

Eventually, with your help, our goal is to raise $1 million to help provide those necessities.
