Evangelist Franklin Graham spent his Easter weekend touring churches and towns left desecrated and destroyed by the Islamic State terrorist organization in Northern Iraq and claimed that only about seven families remain in what used to be the largest Christian town in Iraq. “Yesterday we went to the city of Qaraqosh, in Iraq, which used to be home to some 50,000 Christians who were forced to flee for their lives in 2014.
Now just a handful, about 7 families, remain,” Graham wrote in a Facebook post on Easter Sunday. “I visited a church that had been burned and destroyed by ISIS and met with the pastor.

I couldn’t help but wonder where the child who received this box is today.” READ MORE
