The situation for believers in Baghdad has become worse.
After a time of peace, it appears violence has once again become commonplace in Baghdad. Christians and Muslims have been killed in a string of terror attacks, which have pushed hospitals and doctors to the brink. Jerry Dykstra is with Open Doors USA and says a coworker in Baghdad has been able to send him several e-mails about the situation. "He really grieves over his city. He bemoans the situation -- the lack of basic supplies in the hospitals," Dykstra notes. "He was saying that if they come in to the hospital wounded, they likely won't make it out of the hospital because of a lack of medicine and lack of care." The coworker gave Dykstra a special prayer request. "They don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. They don't see any light hardly. So that is why we need to pray that the light of Jesus Christ will give them peace, and that we will not forget them," he adds. More than 600,000 Christians in Iraq have been displaced since 2003.
