In a devout region where most aspects of life are segregated by religion, Middle Eastern children play a unique part. Running in the streets or playing together on the soccer field, little children are often the only integrated group in their country. Though an Egyptian Muslim adult would probably never socialize with a Christian adult, Muslim and Christian children will. It is thus a special and strategic calling to reach out to Middle Eastern children with God’s love and educate them on how to love others with His love.

Description

The church in the Middle East stands on the front lines of the cultural and spiritual conflict with Islam. Most Western Christians are unaware of any Christian presence in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Jordan. Often they are shocked to find that the believers presence is significant and in Egypt, even formidable. Often ignored by the West, the church in the Middle East, remains faithful. In 2003, EGM developed our first Middle East ministry in Egypt. Since that time we have been contacted by church leaders in Sudan, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon regarding the possibility of starting an EGM ministry in their country. We are eager to respond to the call of the church for training and development for their children’s workers. Our desire is to support these believers with cultural and economically relevant Bible teaching materials in Arabic.
