Neil & Lindsey Broere, along with their 3 children, have risked their lives to move to Iraq and help love and care for refugees and hurting Iraqi citizens.
Now that the Trump Administration’s has placed a temporary ban on all refugees from around the world, and a ban on immigrants from specific middle eastern countries (one of which being Iraq, where the Broeres currently live), many Christians have taken to Facebook to voice their opposition toward the president’s actions.
The Broeres just released this powerful video, from the heart of Iraq, with their thoughts on the ban:
