Christian aid organizations
 •
You can Adopt an Iraqi Christian
Refugee Family through this special program of the Chaldean
Federation of America. I have seen on the ground how effective this
program is, and can testify that 100% of the monay you donate to this
program goes directly to Iraqi Christian refugee families in Amman and
Damascus.
• Christian
Solidarity
International is on the ground in Iraq (as well as in Southern
Sudan). I have gone on aid missions with them and their local partner,
the Hammurabi Human Rights Organization,
run by William Warda.
• The Assyrian Aid Society is
helping to equip schools
and build infrastructure
projects in the Nineveh plain, where virtually no U.S. government
development dollars have been spent. They also are providing food and other
humanitarian relief supplies to refugees and internally displaced
persons in conjunction with the Swedish NGO, Assyrians Without
Borders.
 •Rev. Canon Andrew White (at left), rector of the Anglican
Church of St. George in Baghdad, runs the Foundation for
Relief and Reconcilliation in the Middle East. He has been a passionate
advocate of uniting religious leaders of all faiths to help calm
sectarian violence in Iraq and
has kept his church open to the faithful through the darkest periods of
post-liberation Iraq.
Open
Doors USA, the U.S.
affiliate of the famed Dutch missionary Brother Andrew, has a food and
Bible distribution program in Iraq. They also have an extensive array
of advocacy tools as well as a
Congressional scorecard targeted to issues of Christian
persecution worldwide.
• The Barnabas Fund has a feeding
program for Iraqi refugees in Syria and Jordan, as well as
Christians displaced inside
Iraq. They are also helping and helps to build housing
for Iraqi Christians who have been forced to flee to Syria.
Make
Your Voice Heard in Congress
- The Iraq
Sustainable Democracy Project has documented the ongoing
effort by Muslim terrorist groups to drive Christians out of Iraq and
is a tremendous source of hard information and in-depth
analy
 sis for
policy-makers and concerned citizens.
- The Religious Freedom
Coalition provides aid to Christian refugees in
Jordan, and works closely with members of Congress to defend religious
freedom in Iraq and elsewhere. RFC President William Murray puts out
legislative updates to members, and travels himself on aid missions
to Jordan, the West Bank, and Lebanon. (He is pictured at right, speaking with
Cardinal Nasrallah Sfeir, the Maronite Patriarch, in Bkerke, Lebanon).
- The Iraqi
Christian Relief Council seeks
to raise the awareness of Americans to the persecution of Iraqi
Christians and to help them in making their voice heard in Congress.
- International Christian
Concern provides regular updates on the persecution of Christians
worldwide.
