Mission
To model Christ’s love for all by providing relief, comfort and aid to displaced Iraqi Christians in Iraq and Jordan, by encouraging and facilitating their return home, and by supporting the compassion ministries of Saint George’s Church in Baghdad.
Vision
A Middle East that flourishes in an atmosphere of reconciliation and mutual respect between all faith groups.
St. George’s
Church and Clinic
St. George’s Church was the birthplace of American FRRME in Baghdad. This special place hosts a medical and dental clinic and sees approximately 1,500 patients a month, providing free health care to people of all faiths.
Scholarship Fund
Education for any people is essential for opportunity and growth. It is especially important for American FRRME and it is why we have established the David Greer Scholarship Fund to help pay the education costs for refugees who would otherwise not have the opportunity to continue their studies in a foreign country.

Testimonials from Jordan and Iraq
“Life as refugees in Jordan was very difficult even before the pandemic. We are not allowed to work, yet we have to find a way to provide for our families. We felt frustrated and hopeless. The garden of hope has allowed me to provide not only for my family but also for the larger Iraqi refugee community. This project has been a huge blessing on our lives.”

“When ISIS invaded, they destroyed our farm’s infrastructure, and all the farms of this region were completely destroyed. When we returned, we found only destruction and devastation. As an old chicken farmer, I fully intended to leave. I had no hope here, my whole work was over. But when American FRRME came, they gave me hope.”
