This month I will have the opportunity to travel to northern Iraq with the Missions class to serve alongside a team of frontline workers at a school. There is both an incredible need, and also and incredible opportunity, in the area due in part to the number of refugees and internally displaced people living in northern Iraq. While we are in country, we will be plugging into the efforts that are already in place there, and serving alongside the staff. We may have the opportunity to help teach classes like English or sports, be involved in youth programs, and serve in camps amongst refugees. Our plan is to be in country for nearly two weeks this month.

We would really appreciate your prayers for God’s provision and protection over this trip. Pray that God would guide and strengthen the team of frontline workers that is serving there. Pray for our students, that God will help them catch a vision for missions in their own life, and how they can play a part in the future. Pray for safety traveling, and for safety while we are in country. Finally, if you would like to support this opportunity financially, you can visit alertacademy.com/donate and select the Missions Department Trip Fund.

Thank you so much for supporting us in prayer while we make this trip, and please pray for all the individuals we will have the opportunity to interact with while we travel.
