YFC Iraq was established in 2018. The goal of the ministry is to tell youth about the Gospel and train them to be leaders in their churches. In November 2025, Revive helped fund their new youth center. This is the first Christian youth center in Baghdad. They started with 20 students and are now serving 60-70 each week! Our longtime friend Maher El Hajj is providing leadership for them and working with their director, Jameel Baghdady.
Our Heart Check funding will support programs in the New Generation Center:
- Spiritual growth and Biblical discipleship
- Educational advancement through tutoring and school building
- Psychological healing through mentorship, community empowerment, and leadership training. Psychosocial support is a priority.
From YFC Iraq Leadership:
“We invite you to build this center with us with hope, faith and vision. Together, we can create a space where youth rise from hardship into hope and from wandering into purpose. The New Generation Center is not just a project. It is a promise. A promise that the next generation in Iraq will not be forgotten, but found, formed and fueled for the Kingdom.”
