Uncertainty is an unavoidable aspect of life in the Middle East, and therefore regular giving blesses our ministry in a very special way. Anthea has been giving regularly to MEM for 30 years – read why here! 

Our highly experienced teams have decades worth of media ministry experience in the region, but we’re not the only Christian media producers in the Arab world. So what really makes MEM's work so distinctive? Find out here!

Our long-standing partners, Leina and Pastor Salam, from our Gulf office, have been following the Lord’s call to walk alongside and nurture Christian believers from the majority background in the Middle East. After years of prayer and preparation, by faith and the amazing providence of God, the Glory Christian Centre (GC Centre) is almost ready to open its doors in the nation of Georgia. Join us in praying for this new ministry at an incredibly pivotal time.

Since 2001, World Refugee Day has been marked on 20th June each year, to celebrate the courage of the many across the world who have been forced to flee warfare, disaster, poverty and persecution in their homelands. As an organisation, we are proud to be able to stand with and walk alongside hundreds of refugee men, women and children across the Middle East and North Africa through a number of our media and community-based projects.

Our Gulf women’s social media outreach project went live at the end of 2022 and has already been receiving an overwhelmingly positive response. After just 4 months, the team had received over 10,000 direct messages and seen 3 professions of faith!

Our Lebanese partner is currently serving 151 hard-to-reach Syrian children in refugee camps with our Life in the Desert programme using the recently dubbed first season of the Syrian dialect version. Read more about how this is helping minister hope to vulnerable young hearts.

Across our three Prayer Day sessions, we tackled three different stages at which we carry out our ministry. These point directly into the atmosphere present within the region in which we work, and towards ultimately what we hope to achieve as we lean on God and step out in faith.  Join us in prayer for the reach, discipleship, and empowerment of new believers, as they step into the life God has called them to.

Join us on Zoom for any of our 30-minute prayer slots as part of our annual MEM Week. Hear updates on our work, watch some video content from our Middle Eastern creators, and pray for the impact of our ministry across the region and beyond.

In February, Basma was formally diagnosed with a malignant stomach cancer after undergoing numerous tests. This was unfolding just weeks after the launch of the Facebook for Gulf Women outreach initiative, of which Basma is a vital team member. It is impossible for words to do justice to the hardship that such a diagnosis brings upon anyone – yet for Basma, who has already been through so much, we can’t help but cry out to the Lord in desperate plea.
