Middle East North Africa Initiative
Following the unrest in Syria, Lebanese churches have opened their doors to refugees fleeing their home countries.
In partnership with faith-based relief organizations on the ground, the Middle East North Africa Initiative's focus has been on empowering the local churches in the MENA region to respond in an ongoing relief and support context. It is our goal to facilitate these churches who contribute to the spiritual and physical wellbeing of the displaced through pastoral training, resourcing the local church, interfaith dialogue, and missional outreach.
What is the MENA Initiative?
OUR MISSION
To provide training and financial/relational support of pastors and local churches in the MENA region so that they are empowered to share the strength and support of faith through their local churches with their neighbors in word and deed.
OUR VISION
To grow and support a network of faith-based initiatives through pastors and churches serving in the MENA region who are empowered to share the Gospel message in word and deed with their neighbors.
