Businesses on bloody side of Iraq war

The tanks in the streets these days aren't American, by and large, but old Russian T-72s driven by Iraqi soldiers.

Faces at military checkpoints are increasingly Iraqi.

As of Wednesday, 27 U.S.

military personnel had died in March — the lowest monthly American death count since February 2004 and the second-lowest of the war, according to an Associated Press count.

Coincidental with the Advertisementsharp drop in American deaths was the huge rise in the number of execution-style killings among Iraqis.

Since the beginning of the month, at least 385 people — an average of more than 13 a day — have been found slain, the apparent victims of sectarian hatred and settling of old scores after a Shiite shrine was bombed Feb.

22.

The count climbs to at least 486 when the last six days of February are added, according to figures compiled from daily AP reports based on police accounts.

Also since the start of March, gunmen — mostly masked, many wearing police uniforms — have stormed at least six Baghdad businesses.

On Wednesday, eight people were killed at the al-Ibtikar trading company when they were lined up against a wall and shot, and six others were wounded.

Their minds are wandering thither and yon.

In that search, Keller prays to find their souls for salvation.Many come upon his ministry by surfing the Internet.

"The Holy Spirit directs them to what we have to offer.

And what we have for them is the old-time story that never grows old.

It is the message of Jesus Christ and His love."Keller has been ministering through prayer lines over the years.

He had "Live Prayer with Bill Keller," a sixty-minute TV talk show on select stations in Florida.

In that venue, Keller provided intercession for those seeking spiritual aid as well as offering advice in navigating the Christian life.

It was not long until there were more than a quarter million viewers per night in Florida alone.Keller’s ministry style is dynamic while compassionate.

"I’m sold out to what I do.

And what I do is for the forevers.

I can’t lose with that my goal.

And in that God is blessing.

His smile rests upon our work for we are simply a humble lot doing the business of the cross."In that kind of heart-reaching-out connecting, Keller comes upon one by one those who just need someone to listen, to talk to, to hear out, and finally to point them in the right direction.

With Keller, there is no question as to that direction.

It is upward and outward.

It is coming to know God in Christ.

It is the Bible Way.

It is what the Lord has had for us all along but it takes some people a long-...
