Email: community@mighty.la Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/teammightyla Website: http://mighty.la (Full Site Coming 2016) Twitter/Instagram: @teammightyla An interview with 9 christian refugees who fled ISIS in Mosul “Who would dare to love ISIS?” was the question asked in the first film. Now, come and hear the testimonies of 9 refugees who fled ISIS and left everything behind. They dare to love ISIS and they dare to bring a message of hope - to counter ISIS’s message of hate. In light of global terrorism, millions of displaced refugees, and a complacent western church, their testimony and faith, forged by fire, will bring healing to the nations. God has shaken the Middle East and from its ruins, deep faith is stirring in the hearts of the persecuted. They are the nine, and all of heaven is cheering them, and us, on. All of the refugees are still currently living in the Middle East. All refugees shown in the video are currently supported by MORE International.

They are Muslims. They warned me to get out. ISIS will take over Mosul I asked them how they knew this He said razwan you are a dear brother to me, you respect us and we have been friends for a long time But my mother she felt that something could happen so she said lets go lets go lets go Most christians refused and tried to get out Those who weren’t able to get out they converted to Islam and some chose to be killed I told him the area is full of police and army they can’t take it. he said everyone has left, you have to go They closed the borders and were not letting some people leave He told me he will get me out. but at this time isis began closing borders So he told me i'll get you out with my car. i asked him how? They will know i'm christian and stop me. he said don't worry, God is with us On my way out of the city i saw a hummer with black isis flags I saw a person wearing an isis uniform and saw 4 other civilians I looked to the right and saw 6 other civilians with their hands cuffed And a band over their eyes He said, go back to bartella Dont leave from there Stay and don't leave I started begging him and he took out his weapons. i asked him what does he want He said when i tell you to go back, you go back We left on the road. all the people inside the monastery know it It's such a bad road We circles around the mountain Because the kurdish army did not allow people into kurdistan We stay on the road My father asked us Where? Where will we go? You imagine yourself Isis behind you and nobody in front of you Where? Where will we go? We got to the isis checkpoint The soldier said get out Where are you headed? I told him someone passed away in erbil and we have to attend the funeral He asked who is the animal that died? i told him it was one of my relatives He said that's fine, he's christian. he will burn in hell. i said thank you. He said you don't deserve to live He said it's a shame ur unbelievers and you are still alive I took out my keys and told him my house is in monsieur and gave him a description of exactly where it was I told him you can go and take it. congratulations During this time i was really scared because it was a life or death situation Because 20 days earlier i had seen dead bodies in the street Bodies that were burned or beheaded I thought that I would end up like them When i hit you, you can forgive me But when i took your house, you can forgive me? When i took from you your photos, your memories, your future When i make you suffering, this is not easy for me at that time I expect that in the end, evil will not prevail against good. good will win in the end. Our heavenly father, we thank you We thank you for the gift of salvation We thank you for the free grace you gave to this world Lord let your love fill our hearts Help us forgive from our hearts people who do us wrong I was a lecturer at mosul university I was a school principal for an all girls school in nineveh district I had a liquor store business and also worked as a chef I was in the police force at mosul I was a taxi driver I studied for 1 year in medical school in iraq ALL REFUGEES IN THIS VIDEO ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF APPLYING FOR VISAS TO CANADA
