| Pictures of the Bombings
Dear Friends, Greetings from Baghdad. As usual, it is great to be back in Iraq. I am so encouraged by the fact that, despite things being difficult here, the people continue to be faithful in their service of the Almighty.
Yesterday, in our Mothers Union prayer meeting, there was only praise for G-d that, despite a number having been injured, they were all still alive. It was the same story with the young people in their service this evening; they had all suffered, but they had been spared much greater disaster.
The damage caused by last week's bombings was considerable and can still be seen. The Iraqi Government has responded by giving us 6 additional security officers, in addition to the 6 armed guards that we already employ, and they are already working well together. They were even there to collect me from the airport. The government has also provided us with special radio contact to the ministry of interior, and they say that we now have the greatest security of any church in Iraq.
With all the recent problems I have not been able to finish my next book on the children but now I hope to be able to get going on it again. However, I written an article for the Spectator Magazine this week, which you can read by clicking on the link at the bottom of this letter and you can also hear me on the BBC World Service at 19.32 BST on Saturday 29th August, and at 10.32 BST on Sunday 30th.
Finally, one of our young people has done some amazing pictures, which I wanted to share with you.
 
Blessings from Baghdad,
