Miriam, a 93-year-old Christian woman, is the only believer left in her Iraqi village.
In 2014 the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) overran the village, forcing thousands of Christians, including her children and other relatives, to flee. Miriam has survived a series of tragedies in her life involving the persecution of Christians, and her village is still a very dangerous place to live.
Some nearby Kurds have been checking in on Miriam from time to time and bringing her supplies. In addition, VOM is helping meet her needs through a local church partner.
Please pray for Miriam’s health, safety and spiritual encouragement.
