Dear Friends, Greetings from Baghdad. Whilst the Western world is preparing for the joys and celebrations of Christmas I have to confess there has not even been any mention of the event here apart from the Spiritual. Here the simple concern is how will we get through today. How will we keep away from the continuing violence? The violence and tragedies of scores of people being murdered each day continue. In the last weeks we expressed concern that the stories here not even being covered by the press and the BBC say there was compassion fatigue about Iraq. Now as we lead toward a national elections and the Iraqi Government is also trying to cover up the reality of the escalating violence to increase the chance of the re-election of the government. So the reality is that as we approach Christmas we face more danger, violence and poverty than ever. The world has forgotten our immense need and us and it is harder than ever to get support for here. There is one thing that we will never forget here and that is that “love came down at Christmas love all lovely love divine”. That is the only thing that keep us going that, Love came down, its name is Jesus and he has never left us. Can I also ask for your prayer for my next stem cell treatment that will take place tomorrow, the last one did not work, as we could not get enough blood. Thank you for your prayer. Blessings from Baghdad, Andrew White
