Mission in Action

Help & Support

James 2:14-17: What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

First, we ask that you pray for the persecuted Christians.

We seek to find those who are willing to volunteer their time or give their resources no matter how small to our Charity to assist us in helping persecuted Christians.

We continue to assist persecuted Christians in Iraq via various projects but we need help to accomplish our projects.  Since we were founded in 2015, we have collected gently used clothing, toiletries, baby care products, feminine hygiene products, medical supplies and sent them through our partners to the persecuted Christians in the Middle East.   See our Missions page for details on the 2015-2016 and the 2017-2018 Humanitarian Aid projects.

See our home page for our past 2020-2021 mission of funding the building of a playground in Alqosh, Iraq and our current 2022-2023 mission to help train the Christians in Alqosh with photography and computer skills to gain fruitful employment.  We are working hard to assist the Christians in their cities in the Nineveh Plains of Iraq devastated by ISIS.

Our mission comes to life through the faithful support of those who choose to stand with persecuted Christians around the world. Guided by Scripture:

“If one part suffers, every part suffers with it.” (1 Corinthians 12:26)

we are committed to responding with compassion, responsibility, and unwavering faith.

Today, our mission is deeply focused on helping restore and strengthen the historic Christian communities of the Nineveh Plains in Iraq—ensuring that those who have endured persecution, displacement, and hardship can rebuild their lives with dignity, stability, and hope in Christ.

Since our founding in 2015, your generosity has enabled us to move beyond immediate relief and into lasting, community-centered impact.

Through our trusted partnerships  and local organizations on the ground, donations have been transformed into tangible support helping us to conduct meaningful initiatives that restore both livelihood and hope, including:

  • Healing and Restoration for Children
    Funding the construction of a playground for Christian children traumatized by the ISIS war—creating a safe place for joy, healing, and renewal.
  • Empowering Women with Skills and Opportunity
    Supporting skills training programs for women in Alqosh, Iraq, including photography and computer education—equipping them with tools for independence and a sustainable future.
  • Women’s Business & Entrepreneurship Empowerment
    Investing in initiatives that help women build small businesses, restore dignity, and contribute to the rebuilding of their communities.
  • Economic Development Through Job Creation
    A donation of $8,000 helped facilitate the opening of a food production facility operated by the Assyrian Women Union of Kirkuk, Iraq. This initiative provides employment for women while producing traditional foods—such as Kubbeh—preserving cultural heritage while creating sustainable income.
  • Emergency Relief for Displaced and Vulnerable Families
    Providing critical support through our partners for Iraqi Christian refugees impacted by the earthquake in Turkey, delivering aid during a time of urgent need and uncertainty.
  • Ongoing Humanitarian Support
    Delivering essential aid—including clothing, hygiene items, baby care products, and medical supplies—to displaced families and those living in refugee conditions across the region.
  • Seasonal Care and Community Support
    Providing Easter and Christmas food baskets for families in Alqosh, ensuring that even in hardship, these sacred seasons are marked with provision, dignity, and hope.
  • Life-Saving Medical Assistance
    Supporting emergency medical treatment for individuals in critical need, offering not only care but the reassurance that they are not alone.

Each of these efforts reflects a deeper truth: your generosity does more than meet needs—it restores dignity, strengthens faith, and renews hope.

We remain committed to responsible stewardship, ensuring that every gift is used prayerfully and effectively to serve those who need it most.

You are part of this mission.
Through your support—whether through giving, donating goods, or volunteering—you are helping to rebuild lives, restore communities, and stand in unwavering solidarity with persecuted Christians.

Together, we are the hands and feet of Christ—bringing love, compassion, and hope where it is needed most.
