Northern Iraq

SGI teams serve among the Kurds of northern Iraq, a colorful and historic people descended from the ancient Medes of Bible times. From the story of Daniel and King Darius to the journey of the Magi, the Kurds have a long and rich history with the living God.

Despite the region's rich Judeo-Christian history, Islam swept through northern Iraq centuries ago and remains prevalent to this day. In recent times, horrors wrought from the hand of Saddam Hussein have oppressed the Kurdish people.

SGI has worked in Iraq since 1993, and our teams are engaged with activities including outreach, discipleship, church development initiatives, summer camps, and Christian schools enrolling hundreds of Muslim students.

These schools, known as the Classical Schools of the Medes, use English-based curriculum and carefully integrate Christian worldview and Biblical principles into all subjects. Over 95 percent of the students come from Muslim families, and many are the children of community leaders.

American staff join our team on a semester-by-semester basis, and are responsible to teach select courses.The balance of their time is spent building relationships with students, their families, and community friends.
