Back From Iraq
03.22.10
We are excited to announce a new project of The Simple Way, partnering with our friends in Iraq – the Rutba Peace Project seeks to deepen relationships with our friends in the town of Rutba, working together for peace and reconciliation.
It’s hard to run a hospital without electricity so we have helped fix their broken generator. Over the next year we hope to raise $30,000 to help rebuild the Rutba Hospital that was bombed in 2003 by US and Coalition forces. Also sorts of other good stuff is in the works. Keep it in your prayers, and you can donate to our Rutba Peace Project.
Our friend Greg Barrett is writing a book called The Gospel of Rutba. Keep an eye out for that (probably near the end of the year)… and word on the street is Desmond Tutu is excited to do the foreword.
Jamie Moffett is creating a film from the trip to Iraq called “The Gospel of Rutba”. You can watch a trailer on our YouTube page or below.
