Trip Description:  

The Christian Iraqi Refugee Crisis has been called the Worst Humanitarian Emergency in the World today.  Christians of Iraq have been ravaged by religious presecution, kidnappings, torture and many other atrocities.  

In October, we will be sending a team to help bring relief, love and encouragement to these Iraqi Christian refugees living in Amman.  The team will be led by Calvary member Rob Marcarelli, a filmmaker and who recently premiered a documentary highlighting this crisis.
