Middle East/North Africa

At a Glance

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is almost entirely Islamic, making it one of the world’s most restricted mission fields. Conflict and terrorism in the region have left millions of people displaced, many of whom are traumatized after losing family members. Over a decade after the Arab Spring, millions of Syrians are still displaced or living in destitution as refugees in countries like Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. Indigenous missionaries assisted by Christian Aid Mission are ministering to displaced people and refugees, providing emergency food aid, medical relief, and trauma counseling in Jesus’ name.

Ministry Highlight

In Iran, a ministry sent 45,000 Bibles across five states. “Five of the smugglers gave their lives to Jesus and have been trained in the gospel,” the ministry leader said. “Every one of them had family members or friends killed in their line of work.” Since the ministry began, they planted over 2,100 churches with believers in all 31 states.

How You Can Make a Difference

Indigenous ministries that Christian Aid Mission assists are reporting unprecedented openness among Muslims, who are questioning Islam in the face of Islamic terrorism and brutality. God is providing opportunities for His people to share the gospel in MENA, but they need your help to provide them with critical tools such as Bibles and aid to help the needy.

From the Mission Field in MENA

Assist Persecuted Believers Across the Middle East
Missionaries across the region request assistance for persecuted Christians who face harassment, assault, and imprisonment. “We reach out to support the families of those who are imprisoned and advocate for the release of those who are still in prison,” a local ministry leader said. Your gift of $50 or more helps with such support of persecuted believers and ministries in persecuted areas. Pray for those suffering trials in Christ’s name.

Pray for perseverance for those who suffer in Jesus’ name.

Provide a Better Future to the Downtrodden in North Africa

Share the Hope of the Gospel in North Africa
A young man with extremist Muslim views and hostility toward Christianity began to read a Bible gifted to him by a local missionary, and his life was transformed.

You can support such evangelism and discipleship with a donation. Pray the Truth will set the lost free.

Share the Hope of the Gospel in the Middle East
A young Christian man’s Muslim uncle enjoyed sparking intense religious arguments in which he harshly criticized those opposed to him. But after his son’s death, the man completely withdrew from the family and finally admitted that even his daily Islamic prayers did not bring him peace. His nephew saw this as an opportunity to share the gospel, and now, they engage in regular, peaceful conversation about Jesus.
