Our partnership in the Middle East started in 2001. While the scope of this ministry is broad due to the strategic location in the Middle East, much of partners relationship building has been among the Druze people. This minority group in the Middle East isn’t particularly open to other religious influences or outsiders — but because one of the founding members of the Middle East team is from a Druze background, they have had strong inroads to build these unique discipling opportunities. When war began in the Middle East, our partners opened their doors to respond to the growing refugee crisis as well. As the situation stabilized, our partners have begun to repatriate families. Helping families move back to their original neighborhoods to rebuild their lives and communities through small, missional business initiatives.
