A Beacon of Religious Freedom

Home to the only growing Christian population in the Middle East and once named the Fifth Safest City in the World (Numbeo - 2018), Erbil stands as a shining example of religious tolerance and coexistence. With its vibrant communities of Muslims, Christians, Yazidis, and other faith groups, the Kurdistan Region has long been a sanctuary for those fleeing religious persecution. The protection of churches, synagogues, and temples, as well as the region’s commitment to religious dialogue, reflects its unwavering dedication to human dignity and freedom of belief. The city has welcomed displaced religious minorities, rebuilt places of worship, and fostered interfaith harmony—making it the perfect setting for this gathering of faith and leadership.

Why Kurdistan

Nestled at the crossroads of ancient civilizations, Kurdistan is a land rich with history, faith, and resilience. As an autonomous region in Iraq, it offers a unique blend of religious freedom, deep cultural heritage, and Biblical significance - making it an extraordinary setting for the Kurdistan National Prayer Breakfast.

 

This sacred land has witnessed the journeys of prophets, the footsteps of apostles, and the endurance of faith across millennia. It stands as a beacon of peace and hospitality, where diverse communities live side by side, upholding a tradition of spiritual devotion and unity. Kurdistan’s warm-hearted people, breathtaking landscapes, and unwavering commitment to faith make it a perfect place for a gathering of prayer, reflection, and global fellowship.

 

Attending this event in Kurdistan is more than just an experience - it’s an opportunity to stand in a land where faith has shaped history, build bridges across cultures, and be part of a historic moment of unity and prayer.
