The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. —Psalm 9:9 (NIV)

Alan is displaced from his home.Three-year-old Alan is a Yazidi Iraqi boy. His sister Alamas was

killed by mortars when the Yazidi, an ethnic and religious minority,

were forcibly driven from their homes up the barren mountainside

of Mt. Sinjar in 2014. Instead of finding refuge, tens of thousands

were trapped on the mountain for days with no access to food,

water, or medical care. Now Alan and his sister Ade live in a

camp for internally displaced people in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Please pray for Alan, his family, and the other displaced children in Iraq.
