(Pictured here: Fields in the Bradost area that are burned every year by Turkish and Iranian bombardments. This field belongs
to a CPT-IK partner 8/14/18.) 

Please pray for CPT Iraqi Kurdistan’s partners and their families from the Bradost area of Iraqi Kurdistan who lost a family member to Iran’s cross-border bombing.

Last week, these Iranian bombardments killed 18-year-old Zaitoon in Bradost and injured two others.

Pray that CPT Iraqi Kurdistan may faithfully continue to seek avenues that will end these bombardments with their partners’ guidance.

We pray for all who suffer the bereavement of losing family and loved ones to violence.
