Middle East Church Plant
The Middle East, a land rich with Biblical history, is an area with a small orthodox Christian poputation and an even smaller group of evangelical Christian believers.
Many of the region's predominately Islamic countries do not permit evangelism, yet two new churches with Muslim believers meet regularly.
Project Beyond Catalyst supports the work of several Middle Eastern church planters, and this continues to prove instrumental in the training of other key leaders.
Here's a glimpse of some of our partner leaders in the Middle East: Joseph* and Katy* accept whatever consequences come from following Christ as God’s platform for others to hear the message. Michael* is gifted in areas of healing and expecting the miraculous. This faith is seen in the vividness of the vision of Nathan*, who after years recounts the details of his vision—a vision that gave birth to an unwavering faith demonstrated under pressure—as if seen yesterday. Donald* has a strategic mind, able to see villages perhaps a bit more like God does, hearing the cries of lost people.
These are just a few of the wonderful people who are our partners in the Middle East. Because of Christ's work through them, many have come to faith. The need to disciple these believers and develop new leaders is great.
Please continue to pray for our Middle Eastern brothers and sisters who face challenges and ongoing interrogations because of their faith.
