Iraqi Christian Relief Council

Iraqi Christian Relief Council Statement of Faith:

Our faith is Christianity. We believe the Bible to be the inspired written Word of God. We encourage prayer for the persecuted Christians, not only in the Middle East, but around the globe, because we have witnessed and experienced the power of prayer. We believe in the loving Trinity of three equally Divine Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We do not discriminate against any Christian denomination. We are all members of the one Body of Christ, regardless of our theological differences.

We affirm that the Assyrians (also known as Chaldeans and Syriacs) are the indigenous people of Iraq and that they thereby have the rights of existence, self-administration, and self-defense in their ancestral homeland, the province of Nineveh.

We believe that the State of Israel (Yisrael) has the right to exist and to thrive as a democracy in the Middle East.

We strongly denounce the atrocities that Islamist extremism is committing against humanity, especially against Christians.

We believe that the essential solution for the Middle East and the whole world is Jesus.

Our first obligation is to help and care for our own Christian brothers and sisters who are in the greatest need.

We will continue to employ all resources at our disposal to help save the lives of Christians who are persecuted, in the most transparent, ethical, and sacrificial manner, reflecting Christ’s love for his Church.
