Operation Rising Ember
This mission begins quietly — not with big funding or flashy backing, but with a clear calling and the will to go.
Operation Rising Ember is a privately led Christian mission preparing for long-term presence in a region still marked by devastation, displacement, and spiritual neglect. This work is rooted in faith, not affiliation. It is a charitable mission by nature and is currently forming as a nonprofit religious ministry.
The goal: to stand with vulnerable Christian communities in northern Iraq who survived ISIS and continuing oppression — not just in word, but in person. To help restore what was lost, listen where others rushed past, and quietly serve in ways that matter most on the ground.
💬 What I'll Be Doing on the Ground:
With your support, I will:
Travel to Christian-populated towns across northern Iraq to build trust through presence and conversation
Deliver direct aid to local churches and families where needs are immediate and unmet
Help coordinate small-scale reconstruction efforts (roofs, sanitation, equipment, and basic utilities)
Gather field intelligence on spiritual, structural, and safety needs to inform long-term planning
Build partnerships with trusted Christian leaders, churches, and monasteries for future mission scalability
Serve wherever I'm needed — hauling supplies, translating hope, assisting quietly with local projects
This isn’t organizational theory — it’s boots-on-ground discipleship.
🛠️ Your Support Funds Phase One: Laying the Foundation
Funds raised here will directly cover:
Legal and nonprofit formation paperwork and fees
Critical equipment (e.g., offline navigation, encrypted comms, durable mission gear)

No overhead. No salaries. Just straight mission fuel.
