Campus Crusade for Christ -- 'Winning Iraqi orphans and poor children '

Even as Iraq struggles to stabilize, you can touch the very heart of Iraq by reaching its children for Christ!

This opportunity has been years in the making, and now is the time to act. You see, Campus Crusade for Christ staff teams in Iraq have been working since the American-led liberation, reaching people there with the Gospel. They have seen a tremendous response to the Good News, but recognize the time to so boldly reach out may be short.

Our staff are currently pursuing a major effort to reach Iraq's next generation-concentrating on reaching orphans and very poor children with Christ's love and message!

The goal, over the next year, is to distribute 100,000 gift packs to these little ones. The content varies somewhat depending on availability and area of distribution, but each gift includes evangelistic material like a New Testament, an evangelistic activity book, and/or a special version of the JESUS film for children-all in Arabic. Also included will be fun treats (such as toys or candy), as well as desperately needed practical goods like pencils and paper for school, clothing, and more.

A preliminary distribution of such gifts during this past Christmas was a tremendous success. A 12-year-old boy who received a gift pack shared, "After I saw my dad shot dead, I thought the only way for me to live and contact somebody who can give us money and a gun. But today I noticed that there is a better way to live."

A woman caring for three boys, ages 3, 5 and 11, said, "Our neighbors were killed more than six months ago and left these three boys. Till now nobody asked about them! And we don't know what to do. This morning I screamed, 'God where are you, you created us and left us victims of violence.' I'm so surprised to see God answering so quick and sent you!"

11. What, send an organization called "Crusade for Christ" to Iraq? Yeah

"my dad was shot dead in front of me, but now I have candy and a bible, so everything is OK!"

:puke:


on edit: completely not addressing the ATROCIOUS spelling and grammar, my brain would just short circuit.

4. Lovely

We bomb, rape, kill and torture them, and then we evangelize the traumatized survivors. :puke:

7. That's okay.

If they convert they'll be dead in a week.

8. Well, it worked 1000 years ago, so why not now?

...:eyes:

9. Indeed

And no matter how much "charity" they offer their real intent is to convert.

[Tanuki]

6. This is all probably just completely fabricated bullsh*t anyway

aimed at sucking money from gullible donors

10. But remember, this isn't a Crusade.

13. There are sexual predators and then there are religious predators

Just as we must protect our children from military recruiters, we must also protect Iraqi children from Jesus predators.

Over half a million dead Iraqis and nearly 3,000 dead GIs and all these "Jesus Camp" Christians care about is spreading their filth to more unsuspecting children.
