For centuries, in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Christians have been isolated, the image of Christianity distorted and the gospel silenced.

Over the course of the 20th century, the Middle Eastern church shrank from 20% of the population to less than 5%. Most of us are aware that many Christians throughout this region suffer daily for their faith, from low level harassment and abuse, job discrimination and ostracism, to rejection by family and friends, deliberate violence and even death.

For believers and seekers, access to Christian teaching and resources is limited in many parts of the Arab world. A creative approach is needed to deliver Christian information to those who seek it and to support the struggling church.
