The Middle East is
defined as a region encompassing southwestern
Asia and northeastern Africa, spanning from
Morocco to Pakistan, including the Caucasus. The
Middle East and North Africa consist of 22 Arab
nations. The countries of the Middle East are
all part of Asia. This is a region that is home
to the beginning of civilization and of all
three monotheistic religions: Christianity,
Judaism and Islam.
More than 90% of the people of the Middle East
are Muslims. There are approximately 15 to 20
million Arab Christians living in the Middle
East. Most of these Christians do not have
freedom of religion and lack of basic human
rights. In some countries within the Middle
East, it is illegal to practice their Christian
faith and they are not allowed to have a Bible.
Many Christians have become martyrs for the
cause of Christ.
Nations for Jesus is committed to communicate
the message of salvation to the people of Middle
East. We are striving to make inroads into this
region with a goal to see churches planted.
