EDITOR'S NOTE: While Breaking Christian News' main focus is the good news of the Kingdom and evidences of God's hand in our world today; occasionally certain difficult and tragic events warrant sending out a prayer request. This is one of those circumstances, and we at BCN ask the Body of Christ to join with us in prayer for Believers in Iraq, and all of those touched by these horrific acts of terrorism. These are our brothers and sisters-in-Christ who are hurting. ?Aimee Herd, BCN.
