Living Water Productions had the great privilege of joining REDEEM!, an international humanitarian organization led by Dr. William Devlin, co-pastor of Infinity Church in The South Bronx, to serve and bring the love of Jesus to the broken and hurting in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

REDEEM! has been working with Yazidis and Christians in northern Iraq since December 2014 – just four months after ISIS came into the region and decimated Sinjar and other areas. Pastor Devlin has met with over 100 young girls/women who were taken captive and then rescued. In June 2019, REDEEM! started an economic development Gospel-based project with ISIS survivors who are doing art as a means of therapy. REDEEM! Commissioned our team to meet these artists in Kurdistan in August 2019 to document their stories and photograph the artwork in order to print professional reproductions of the original paintings, which will be sold on https://www.yazidiart.com, giving 100% of the proceeds to the artists as a means to support them and their families. Our team traveled to several IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camps in northern Iraq, meeting with the artists and learning their stories. I had the opportunity to pray in the name of JESUS many times as we heard about the atrocities they endured. We were humbled by the resilience and strength of the Yazidi people. Despite living in poverty in weather-worn tents, the artists and their families received us with such amazing hospitality.
