CHURCH IN IRAQ HELPS BELIEVERS IN NEW ORLEANS
A 300-member church in Iraq's northern Kurdistan governance is providing aid to Hurricane Katrina victims in the U.S. The church is collecting money to help the Adullam Christian Fellowship Church in an area that was hit hardest by the flooding. "We saw the pictures of the devastation on television," said Rev. Hazem, pastor of the two-year-old Kurdzman Church in Iraq. "We were motivated to help the people of New Orleans rebuild so we called our friends at World Compassion to see how to get money to Louisiana." World Compassion has been working in Iraq since U.S. forces entered. Randy Millett, pastor of the Adullam Christian Fellowship, most of whose 359 members are still homeless, was surprised but delighted by the Iraqi church's help. "We've been destroyed, but we will rebuild," he said. "And we're grateful for our friends around the world--including those in Iraq--who are standing with us during this difficult time."
