Back to Iraq in a Hurry!

Please help me make it happen…

I

apologize in advance for being cryptic with this post. On the one hand, I am part of a small team facing yet another historic opportunity—even as our work on the Kurdish Constitution “safe haven” project continues. However, making this second effort public is not my call. All I can tell you is that it is potentially just as far-reaching as the safe-haven project. Here’s the scoop…


In a few days, immediately following our Living Sound 50th-Anniversary celebration in Oklahoma, I will depart Tulsa for Erbil, Iraq ready to hit the ground running once more.

With the Archbishop of Mosul & Kurdistan. In May I was honored to deliver a significant gift from American Christians to Iraqi Christians who had been made homeless by ISIS.

Always Ready

We have said several times that we must be ready to return to Iraq at any time, and once again that moment has arrived. However, flying overseas on such short notice to work in the halls of government, as well as the circles of influence in which our negotiations will take place, mean that this mission will be more expensive than usual. For that reason, I appeal to you in keeping with Romans 10: Please send me back to Kurdistan!

I also reluctantly mentioned previously that although we were able to conduct a successful mission to Iraq in May, we ourselves were not paid. This ministry has been our lives for half a century. We’ve operated modestly, avoided frequent appeals, and given every effort our all. 

Now, as we face our greatest opportunity in a half century, we truly need increased support. Your ongoing support of Jim Gilbert Ministries holds the promise of great kingdom impact for the future of Iraqi Kurdistan, and by extension the entire Middle East.

Additionally, ten days after I return home, I must leave again for ministry in Trinidad. After the Trinidad invitation came several months ago, that nation began burning in my heart for reasons I don’t yet understand. But I’m eager to find out!

To give, just click the blue box in the top right corner and please consider partnering with us on a monthly basis. Also, hundreds of banks now use Zelle for easy, instant fund transfers. Please email us at james@jamesgilbert.org for details

Deepest thanks.
