A small but mighty church
Jul 2008,
A small evangelic church in the Near East faces opposition from surrounding mosques, local authorities and the Muslim brotherhood. Please pray for the pastor and the congregation.

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).
