We receive letters from many parts of the world in response to our radio and television programming, as well as our internet site.

A couple of days ago a letter arrived from Iraq written by a woman. Many gracious statements were made in her letter clearly revealing a grateful heart for our part in her spiritual journey. One line struck me particularly, “Please pray for us so that His peace and love come(s) down on our beloved country.”

Far too often the word “beloved” does not cross my mind when I think of Iraq. But for believers in that country, many of whom are suffering terribly, their love of the Lord brings with it love of a country as well.

The Church is made of people from all tribes, nations, and tongues. I pray that my view of Iraq would change to agree with the brethren who live there.
