(Worthy News) – Growing insecurity in Iraq and on its border could lead to a fresh exodus of Christians from the country, warns a partner of Release International, which is supporting refugees in the country.

Only around 300,000 Christians remain in Iraq from a peak of 1.8 million in the year 2000. They’ve been driven out by conflict and insecurity. And many more are now anxious to leave, says Jamal:
‘Most of the Christians have lost hope. Many of them are applying to leave the country, and if they can, they will.’ [ Source: Christian Today (Read More…) ]
