TechnoratiOur leaders traveling in Iraq also need wisdom during their interaction and safety.
CP: When do you hope to see an Alliance in Iraq?
Tunnicliffe: I think our goal is to see a functioning Evangelical Alliance in Iraq within 12 months. Given the complexity of traveling into Iraq and the changing dynamics in the country we cannot say that is for sure. We can’t even be sure what will happen tomorrow in Iraq so we have to be flexible enough to move with the current reality, but I would like to see us on track to witness this happen within 12 months.
CP: Is there anything else you would like to add?
Tunnicliffe: I think in the midst of all the tragedies and the disturbing stories that are coming out of Iraq, there is also a message of hope that the church is growing in Iraq. It’s hard to find a good story coming out of Iraq, but from our community this is one of the good stories.
It is a challenge to the American church in particular because they are so focused as a nation on the war in Iraq. But we hope that they will also start to think about the Christians in Iraq as well. American Christians while they think about having American servicemen in Iraq, we also ask that they pray for Iraqi Christians as well.
