Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Affinity Leader
We're on a mission to transform lives and ignite a gospel movement in the Muslim World. Our passionate teams are dedicated to not only planting churches and making disciples but also instilling hope among the least reached MENA communities.
Across the globe, a staggering 407,817,000 souls reside in the MENA region. This includes 389 Unreached People Groups and 243 Frontier People Groups. MENA isn't just a part of the Muslim World; it's a powerhouse that influences the destiny of countless Muslim-majority nations. By reaching the Arabic-speaking world, we are setting in motion a ripple effect that can touch the hearts of many for Christ.
Right here in North America, there are 89 strategic priority communities from the MENA Region. Our teams have set their sights on nurturing thriving, indigenous churches on this soil. Our role isn’t not just about recruiting, training, and coaching; it's about personally engaging with the MENA people in DFW, and spreading the gospel through deep, meaningful relationships. We're not just changing lives; we're shaping destinies.The Strategy
