As the Iraqi offensive to liberate Mosul from ISIS control continued this week, RUN Ministries president Eric Watt sent me a heartbreaking message. According to his team on the front lines:
Today, ISIS killed 17 women and children who couldn't leave their villages surrounding Mosul. Most of the small villages have already been deserted, but there were a few women with small children who were left behind in one village. ISIS murdered them. All of them.
Eric also told me the brutal terrorist group recently released a "toxic cloud" into the sky and has kidnapped people in and around Mosul to use as human shields. So far, RUN has brought more than 500 families to safety and can save many, many more with our help! Please see my previous update below for more information, or click here to take immediate action on behalf of persecuted Christians in northern Iraq.
Thanks in advance.

(Original message)
American Patriots,
Reports out of Mosul indicate that a mass "exodus" of refugees is already under way. Early indications are that more than 100,000 could flee the intense fighting in that city.
Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting that ISIS killed 40 civilians in one village. Another report indicates that more than 500 families have been captured by ISIS and are being used as human shields.
Christians and other persecuted minorities in Iraq are literally running for their lives -- and we can offer help in a tangible way.
Our friends at RUN Ministries are working on the ground in northern Iraq to provide shelter and relief for those fleeing ISIS persecution. Right now, RUN estimates that they already have "close to 1,000 new refugees from the region around Mosul" in their care. And they expect many more in the coming days.
+ + Help Mosul Refugees Fleeing ISIS Terror!
This weekend, I want to help RUN care for those flooding their camps as they flee from ISIS persecution and the fighting in Mosul.
I'm asking the Grassfire team to step up and provide emergency relief right now.
Please click here or on the DONATE button below to make a tax-deductible gift to help RUN Ministries care for and protect Mosul refugees in northern Iraq and continue other vital relief efforts:
For just $8 per person per day, RUN can provide food, water, medicine and other relief supplies to Iraqi refugees seeking shelter from the battle of Mosul. This expected exodus from the ISIS-held city will require a significant increase of resources.
Your tax-deductible gift
will play a vital role in helping displaced men, women and children
facing dehydration, starvation and exposure. Whatever you can give will
enable RUN Ministries to continue rescuing, renewing, restoring and
rebuilding the lives of Iraqi refugees.
With your donation of $56, RUN Ministries can feed and protect one refugee for an entire week, while $112 can bless an ISIS survivor with two weeks of urgently needed provisions. Please partner with RUN to provide food, water, security and more to persecuted Iraqi Christians, Yazidis and other religious minorities. Click here to help now.
Thanks in advance.
Steve
P.S. With just 10 days left in October, I've set a $15,000 goal to help RUN teams care for and protect nearly 2,000 Iraqi refugees. Will you help today? Click here or on the image below to support RUN Ministries' ongoing rescue and relief efforts, as they continue other global outreaches.
