Regional Profile
As defined by the Arab League, 22 Middle Eastern and North African countries share the Arabic language as a common bond. The region has a rich culture and history, and the ordinary people are warm and hospitable.
The early church was born in this part of the world, as ancient orthodox churches testify. Christians of the Arab world face great challenges and yet bear strong witness that God’s plan and purposes are unfolding.
Interserve Partners are engaging in transformational ministries, serving God in a variety of roles such in health, community development and media. Some teach in schools and universities while others are developing businesses. Many are working alongside the local church in support and encouragement.
Interserve has broad experience and currently one of the largest teams of Christian cross-cultural workers in the Arab world.
