His faith puts lots of Christian's faiths to shame. I put a post yesterday with very little response from the Christian ministers and Christian people. What do you think about the response? Here is the body of the post.

Christians in Iraq caught in the crossfire http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/world/2851578

Now is the time God will be testing all the Christian ministers and Christian people in the United States and the world. Let us see if these Christian ministers and Christian people can find it in their hearts to start up collections, to help rebuilt the five Christian churches in Baghdad which have been firebombed. Iraq's 800,000 Christians, who make up less than 4 percent of the population, have come under growing threats and violence. They need help. The word of the Lord must not die in Iraq. These terrorists are doing the work of the devil and we must not let them win.

Ever since the war in Iraq started I've always wondered why so many Christians have protested it. Iraq is home to some of the most important sites mentioned in the Bible. Christians should realize that after the fall of Saddam Hussein the door to the past will some day be opened to foreign visitors. That is, after Iraq becomes the nation that the United States has hoped it will be.

The Christian people will be able to visit the place where they are told it all began, at the crossroads of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, in whose lushness once stood the Garden of Eden in the city of Qurnah (Genesis 2:10-14).

Another city the Christian people will be able to visit is the city of UR. Genesis 11:27-32 suggests that Abraham lived here. And, the city of Babylon is where the Tower of Babel was built.

For all Christians the journey to the past begins in Iraq.
