First Annual Conference - Erbil, Iraq

Today, we opened World Orphans' First Annual Conference in Erbil, Iraq for the benefit of the orphanage directors of Iraqi Kurdistan with the help and support of Lake Pointe Church of Rockwall, Texas. It's a 3 day affair seeking to help some 20 professional care-givers to nearly 1,000 orphans better understand and meet the needs of the children in their care.

Caty Sarkes of Cairo, Egypt who has spent the past 20 years in counseling roles for women and children (educated in the United States and Australia) came to give the lectures that have already received praise from the Minister of Social and Labor Affairs who attended one of the sessions.

He said that the subject material was of great interest to him as it involved his select discipline of study and remarked that the session was simply "Fantastic!"

Thank you, Caty, for pouring out your heart that they might better do the same.

Please be in prayer over the next couple of days as we seek to infuse into their lives a love which only God can give for the orphans in their care.
