Christian children forced to flee after the IS invasion, began school recently for the first time in a year. After fleeing their homes, families left everything behind, including access to schooling. In Iraq a local church leader and a mission agency partner noticed this need in their community, and because they believe education is important to the child, they began to dream of opening a school. Their goal was to begin with approximately 25 students. Church leaders prayed for a suitable location near a refugee camp and God showed them a nearby house with a big back-yard. Though it would need many renovations before it was safe, church leaders discovered that it would accommodate four classrooms with enough space for at least 20 students in each classroom, and a school was born. Across the Middle East most countries do not have the capacity to provide schooling for a sudden influx of thousands of children. Pray for more schools for refugees.
