A Glimpse at the Global Body of Christ (1-Jul-2010) This is the global body of Christ. It doesn't matter how old we are, or if our countries are fighting. We share a bond that is stronger than nationality, language, or color. For these are my brothers and my sisters in Christ.

Twenty Years in the Making (1-Jul-2010) One day Hisham* overheard a young man talking about Jesus in a University in the Middle East. He was sparked with curiosity. He had heard about this Jesus, and he wanted to know more. So he approached the man and asked for a Bible.

Yazidies, Student Ministries and Relief Projects (28-Feb-2008)
The growth of the Druze fellowship from 125 to 180 members is great encouragement. The perseverance of the Yazidies (Zoroastrian) believers in the face of persecution challenges us. Praise God for families opening their homes and for five who were baptised lately.
The starting of a student ministry in a main city of the Near East is a great encouragement as they access the campus and have a place for students to drop in for personal talks, sharing, watching Christian films and even an Alpha course.
Through relief projects we helped 437 families with food packages, kerosene stoves, mattresses, plastic carpets to cover dirt floors and roof repairs to mud houses in Kurdistan.
A ministry of Arabs reaching Arabs is quite effective between different religious groups (Druze among Shi’as) in neighbouring countries (Jordanians among Syrians).
