Terry Law and George Sada will be with us on Saturday, September 27th and on Sunday, September 28th.
 Dr. Terry Law is the founder and president of World Compassion. For more than thirty-five years he has traveled to countries that are normally closed to the Gospel such as the former Soviet Union and Iraq, to share the message of Jesus Christ and to support local churches and Christian relief programs. In these countries, organizations such as World Compassion have smuggled in Bibles and establish underground churches.
Dr. Law is an expert and one of America’s foremost speakers on nations that are normally closed to the Gospel. He preaches frequently in North America and the United Kingdom and takes trips to closed countries several times a year. Most recently, he has focused his ministry in Muslim nations, including Afghanistan and Iraq. World Compassion has delivered medicine and food to hospitals and families in Iraq since 2003. In June 2004, Dr. Law had the privilege of meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi to discuss religious freedoms in Iraq. In August 2005, Dr. Law met with Prime Minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, to urge him to include religious freedom in the new Iraqi constitution.
Dr. Law was one of the 2003 Alumni of the Year at Oral Roberts University. While attending ORU in 1969, he co-founded Living Sound, a music group that ministered in more than forty countries. He was one of the first to go into the Soviet Union and other communist nations such as China, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, and Poland, first with Living Sound and later his own ministry. While in Poland, he became friends with Karol Cardinal Wojtyla, later Pope John Paul II.
He has written several books and booklets, including The Fight of Every Believer, The Truth About Angels, How to Enter the Presence of God, and The Power of Praise and Worship, which is in its 20th year of print. His booklet The Story of Jesus has been translated in more than 70 languages.  Major General Georges Hormis Sada graduated from Iraq’s Air Academy in 1960 and was trained with the elite forces in Great Britain, Russia and the U.S. An ace fighter pilot who trained other pilots, he went on to become Air Vice Marshal in Saddam Hussein’s military. His acts of bravery, including saving the lives of forty-five downed coalition pilots in the Gulf War, have earned him hero status.
Georges Sada was born into an Assyrian Christian family in northern Iraq and became a born-again believer in 1986. Georges had great favor with the former Iraqi dictator as he is one of the few Iraqi men to ever publicly confront Saddam Hussein and live to tell about it. Georges believes a key reason why he served as one of Saddam’s most trusted advisors was to persuade him against attacking the nation of Israel with chemical weapons, something Saddam attempted to do on two separate occasions.
Now retired, Georges is Executive Secretary of the Iraqi Institute for Peace and also serves as spokesman for the newly elected Prime Minister of Iraq. He was also the president of the National Presbyterian Church in Baghdad and chairman of the Assembly of Iraqi Evangelical Presbyterian Churches.
In recent years, Georges held the position of Principal Advisor to the former Iraqi Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi and served as the spokesman for the Iraqi government and the Ministry of Defense. Additionally, he acted as the lead consultant for the reconstruction of all three branches of the Iraqi defense system. In March of 2004, Georges received the prestigious International Prize for Peace and Reconciliation presented by the Bishop of Coventry, England.
Georges Sada is the author of the book, Saddam’s Secrets, an expose on the weapons programs of Iraq and the murderous reign of Saddam Hussein. |
