Thanks for the watch.
I notice you're from the Iraq! Ton of history there! I’ve always been
fascinated with the Middle East.
I found that a lot of people here in the U.S. don’t know much about their own country,
much less anyone else's.
I post prayer updates about different countries. Part of the reason is to raise awareness
about what's going on in the rest of the world. Recently I’ve started my own private initiative; if I notice someone on DA is from another country, if I've done their country
I let them know. It’s my way of letting them know that others are thinking about their home.
This update is about your home! Its written from a Christian perspective
so please don't be offended.
