Pray for Baghdad

Baghdad al-Jadida means “New Baghdad” and is one of the 9 main districts of the city and is also the name of a smaller neighborhood within the district. It holds some of the most affluent neighborhoods in the city, but still has seen quite a lot of violence and war over the past 40  years. 

Pray for:  As we pray for “New Baghdad,” let’s pray for the redemption of Baghdad’s history. Pray that Baghdad would be “made new” in a spiritual sense and that it would no longer be known for its sad history, but for its redemption and love.
