Below, you will find a letter I received today from brother Abdelrahem. It was sent by him personally and translated into English by Sister Rolla and passed on to me. I did a minor bit of editing, but less than normal so you hear the words directly from Abdelrahem’s heart.
There is a full update coming out tomorrow morning, if all goes well. There have been a lot of dramatic events unfolding in the last few days that I would like to fill you in on. God is doing amazing things! Jesus is coming SOON!
******************
Hello my brothers and sisters who love the Lord and are beloved by Him. I would like to fill you in on the latest developments of the work in Kirkuk, Mosul and Erbil, Iraq. Now is the season of a great harvest of souls and their new birth into the love of Christ.
Thousands are soon going to take part in the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. The brothers are ready to bring more to a recognition of the love of God through Jesus, as they pass through. There will be Syrians, Shiites, Yazidis, and Sunni.
We thank the Lord for the new birth of some of the most famous sheikhs, who have become believers and followers of Jesus Christ. I do not want to take much of your time. Believe me, I am a very, very simple man. I used to be wealthy, but there was no satisfaction in it. When I got to know Rashid, I learned to give as Christ taught us. I fasted many days in order to feed others and to feel the hunger of the poor. I had farms but sold all of them except one. The one farm I have left supports 50 families including many children. I have a house that will be sold in order to pay off our debt at the print shop. The debt today stands at $35,000, which has been incurred for the mass printing of Bibles, teaching booklets, and brochures to be distributed among the many locations where the House of Blessing is ministering and has raised up underground Bible classes. The arrangement was made with the bank so the HOB leaders would have enough Bibles, etc., for the month of Ramadan, and afterward.
Believe me, everything we do is not worth a drop in the ocean compared to what Christ has given. The end of the age harvest is now! Please, hurry to do what you can now to provide the Gospel. We do not want to fail the Lord’s people. Believe me, time is running out! Please pray for the Lord to provide the urgent need for Bibles, tents, and some simple needs of flour and rice.
May the Lord bless you. We are experiencing great pressure and persecution from the government and from religious extremists.
God Bless You,
Abdelrahem
