I never ask for money for myself on this blog , and this is the first time I have asked any of you to support other Christians in raising fund. Please prayerfully consider Wilfred's request as seen below.
Dear Peter,
I am doing a 100 kilometre walk next month from
June 20 to 22, 2014 to raise money for 2 charities, one of
which is the Assyrian Aid Society in Iraq, the leading Christian charity in Iraq
helping Iraq's severely persecuted Christians and also the Syrian Christians who
fled to Iraq as refugees.
Over 12,000 Christian families in Iraq have
been displaced within that country by relentless persecution from Islamic
extremists. Many are short of money for basic necessities like food and rent.
I have visited Iraq twice and seen the intense
suffering of the Christians there firsthand including hearing testimonies from a
father whose son was kidnapped and beheaded simply because he was a
Christian and a mother whose husband was blown up by Islamic extremists then her
daughter kidnapped by the Muslims, never to be seen again.
My 100 km walk will be through mainly forest
and countryside and has to be completed within 48 hours.
The other charity is a UK Christian charity called
ChildAid to Russia and the Republics which helps poor children and orphans in
Eastern Europe.
I have known ChildAid for many years, since 1989,
and they are a very good Christian charity.
ChildAid has agreed that 50%
of whatever money my 100 km walk raises will be sent to the
Assyrian Aid Society in Iraq.
ChildAid will send this money by bank transfer
to AAS Iraq.
The other 50% which goes to ChildAid will be used
for their work with poor, vulnerable children in Ukraine and Moldova.
Please see my attached article about this
important work.
I need help with publicising this 100
km walk to people who may be interested in giving to the AAS and ChildAid.
Can you help by sharing this
information with your network of friends and contacts who might be interested in
giving to these causes?
Please also consider if you can give
towards this long charity walk.

page regarding this 100 km walk is:
best wishes,
Wilfred
