Lessons Taken to Heart
by Impact Middle East leader in Iraq
 

Gamila* came from a non-Christian background but recently accepted Jesus as her Savior. One of the ladies in the church who is mature in her faith has been following up with Gamila. She reads the Bible with Gamila and explains basic Christian principles to her. She has also stressed the importance of personal prayer time. Gamila has taken these lessons to heart. She decided to pray from 4 to 7 each morning. Her relationship with God is growing, and her knowledge of the Bible is growing as well. She read the entire New Testament in a short time. Every word in the Bible touches her heart. She says she tries to be like Jesus and loves Him with all her heart. She testifies how the Lord has changed so many things in her and made her a whole new person. She sees herself differently after choosing to follow Christ, and her view of other people has also changed. She is a more compassionate person who wishes well to others. She talks to her husband about Jesus, hoping he will take the same path she has.

Please pray the Lord will use her for His glory and that she will be a blessing to the rest of her family.

New Children's Resources
Five short videos and reproducible handouts
Perfect for VBS or Children's Ministries

Meet Nisaf, a winsome twelve-year-old girl in Kurdistan (northern Iraq). She lives with her family in a refugee camp, along with 8,000 other children and their families, after they fled from ISIS terrorists. Through five short videos Nisaf shows us where she lives and other special places in the camp, including the Noor Center. Established by Impact Middle East, the Noor Center creates ways for children to laugh, play, and feel safe again after all the trauma they have experienced in their lives. Reproducible handouts provide activities and additional information for each of the videos. Project options provide ways for children’s groups to help children like Nisaf.
