Introduction / History

Iraqis have come to Germany in about the last fifty years. Some are students and some are refugees leaving Iraq because of the troubles.

The Iraqis in Germany have several organizations representing them. These organisations are mixed and there are Arabs, Kurds and Iraqi Christians among them. The Arabs are both Sunni and Shia Muslims.

The Iraqi organizations in Germany take part in international politics. These organisations are helping in the reconstruction of Iraq. They take part in discussions on Iraq and get the German public informed on the situation in Iraq. They help with business dealings between Iraq and Germany and try to get Germany to help Iraq financially. Some Iraqis in Germany have important political and business positions.

The Iraqis in Germany have important mediating positions between Germany and Iraq. German companies trade with Iraqi markets as a result.

Prayer Points

* Pray that Iraqi Christians in Germany will lead the Iraqi Arabs to Salvation here.
* Pray that the troubles in Iraq will lead many Iraqis to come to Jesus Christ.
