It is located on the boarder of Iraq and Syria. Like many cities throughout Syria Abu Kamal was taken over by ISIS. This border crossing became a bridge between Iraq and Syria where weapons and armed fighters could cross easily. It also became the target of forces trying to drive ISIS out cause many of the residents to be displaced. This village is largely Sunni Muslim Arabs.
"For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore, I command you, 'You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.'" Deuteronomy 15:11
Lord, as the people of Abu Kamal have been scattered out to many lands we ask that they would find believers who would take them in, give them what they need and share the Truth with them. That through this scattering the people of Abu Kamal would come to know You and return to build Your church in Abu Kamal.
