Iraq (Asia). Population: 40,227,611, Believers: 0.2%. Leadership for the churches is an increasingly desperate need. Many good leaders have fled the country; many others are dead, specifically targeted by Islamists. Much of the pastoring and discipling is handled by Christian widows of slain leaders; pray for their equipping and enabling. Pray for the return of leaders who have fled, for the development of new leaders, and for protection of all who shepherd God’s people in Iraq. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010, www.operationworld.org
