Dr. Ali Tatar, the Governor of Duhok, came to inspect the damage to our church from last week’s devastating flood, which struck all of Duhok Governate. The Governate’s Capitol, the City of Duhok, was especially hard hit. The Governor himself joined in to help us with the cleanup of our Church facilities. A massive undertaking.
A group of Kurdish Peshmerga Special Forces under the command of Mansoor Barazani, the son of the President of the Autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq, also came in to assist with the cleanup.
This help and encouragement was unexpected; especially in light of magnitude of the local damage to the city and the rest of the Governate. Needless to say, we’re very grateful for the assistance, for which we give thanks to The LORD … and to the Kurdistan Regional Government who stood with us in this time of need.
The great challenge yet before us is the repairs to the structural damage to our facilities and the replacement of our equipment and furnishings, most of which are damaged beyond repair. That which took us years to purchase and put together was literally wiped out in a few hours. Still, I believe, with GOD’s grace and your help as He speaks to you, we’ll be able to recover.
