My post on persecuted Christians in Iraq continues to be shared around the world. I’m encouraged to see many Christians standing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Iraq. However, it is distressing and horrifying to see that things have been getting even worse under the cruel hand of Islamic State. I have a more detailed follow-up post on the way, but in the meantime here is another way that you can support Christians who have been displaced.
Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) in Australia have contacts on the ground in Iraq through VOM USA. They have already raised over $75K to put towards emergency relief packs. It’s only cost $25 for each #WeAreN pack. See below for a link to donate:

G’day Dave, thanks for your coverage of this. Something I reckon we’ve got to get clear, so that our compassion isn’t just for our own people (“Even the pagans do that”), is that this persecution goes way beyond Christians. Are you aware of the background to #WeAreN?
My heart def goes out to the Christians and Muslims both I d like to keep informed. I only wish I could be there to help as well I’m a missionary as well I worked and helped refugees in Germany For many years You will be compensated for all the work and help you give for Christian and Muslim both in the end Don’t give up
