News from Northern Iraq

Report from Pastor Armen in Duhok, Northern Iraq

I know it has been a long time since I wrote last, but I was waiting on all the praise reports to come in. So this is the latest news in our church:

1-      We have a lady in the church who had cancer in her womb and it was 85%. She was going to Erbil to surgery. I prayed for and she then went to see her doctor.  They did tests on her 3 times, and all 3 times the tests came negative. She testified that the Lord healed her.

2-      Another woman she has a 3 cancerous lumps in her chest and also she was going to have a surgery. Our church prayed. All three lumps are gone! She is Muslim but after her healing she announced: "Jesus healed me. I love Jesus very much!"

This is just this month's news. As a result of these miracles now many people in the area know about our church. There were also 2 women who couldn't get pregnant. The Lord told me they will and told me when. It happened exactly when He said! These may be small things, but as a result every Sunday we have new people in church. We had to buy 25 new chairs and we are removing my stuff from the living room to make room for more people (Pastor Armen's family lives in the church building).

I'm sure you remember I told you I'm training workers - now the church has 6 ladies who can lead the worship and preach and also led the youth ministry. The worship band has 5 singers. I teach them key board, how to  serving in Sunday services, do discipleship training,  and home visitation.

The Lord is giving me His words to speak life to the people in my church.  I need your prayers for the Lord's guidance, wisdom, strength and new open doors.

I can't explain all that is happening. It is Glory-Glory-Glory to Jesus!

Bless you,

Pastor Armen Hagopian
