Earlier this year, a second container of meal packets was sent to northern Iraq. The food was packed with the help of hundreds of volunteers over a series of fall Packathons. A container with 276,480 meals, primarily beans and rice, was sent through one of our partners, World Help of Lynchburg, Virginia.
Thanks to your prayers and support, the meal packets were distributed to 350 families in the camp through a Christian network on the ground. The families in Baharka are in need of the most basic supplies and, not surprisingly, are having a difficult time finding any type of work to earn an income. Specifically, 640 adults and 200 children received the food. Included were 70 elderly and 80 who were disabled.
A 37-year-old male and his family received our meal packets and they were very thankful: “We have to support our families but due to the current situation it is hard to do this. We really are very grateful for each and everyone thinking about us and our needs”.
World Help’s partner on the ground has witnessed many breakthroughs ministering to both Christian and Muslim refugees. This has been a great encouragement to the believers, and more than 200 Muslims have come to faith in Christ. The food you have provided is making a difference for the sake of the Gospel!
Pallets ready to fill the container. Destination Iraq!
