A series of strategically placed car bombs claimed the lives of 63 people in Baghdad, leaving many wondering about the security of the nation. With American troops now out of Iraq, many fear sectarian violence could erupt into civil war. Greg Mussleman with Voice of the Martyrs, Canada recently returned from Iraq where he met with Christians. ‘Their fear was that this was going to happen,' he shares. ‘They were just waiting for the American troops to leave.’ While many reports indicate things are better in Iraq, Mussleman doesn't expect that to be the case in Baghdad, Mosul, and Basra. Many Christians left these cities for safer areas.

Pray: against civil war in Iraq and for God’s provision and purposes for Iraq at this time, pray for believers to know God’s protection and may He give them courage. (Is.31:1-3)
