Men’s Breakfast: May 2025
Our speaker for this month’s breakfast is Joe Lipuma, Co-Chair of Stand with Iraqi Christians. Joe will discuss the history of the organization and its ongoing efforts to restore and revitalize Christian communities in Iraq. Learn how SWIC supports one of the world’s oldest and most vulnerable Christian communities.
Joe Lipuma lives and works in Manhattan, NY. He serves on the vestry of his local parish and also serves on the board of the Holy Trinity Neighborhood Center, which specializes in feeding the hungry and serving the community. Joe joined SWIC as a volunteer in 2021 following a presentation made by Father Chris Bishop about the needs and hardships facing the Iraqi Christians and their community at large. Deeply moved, Joe is committed to expanding SWIC’s efforts and helping those in need on the Nineveh Plains and beyond. Having recently returned from Iraq, Joe is energized to provide his service to the mission and to the Iraqi families in need.
