Middle East, Restricted Access

Known as the cradle of civilization; the Middle East is home to some of the most established people groups, cultures, languages, religions and conflicts in the world.

In recent history, pockets within the Middle East have faced devastating civil and proxy wars resulting in some of the largest humanitarian crisis' of our time.

Religious and political polarization often has Christians facing the most extreme forms of persecution, sometime at the hands of their own governments. In the midst of it all, there are deep divisions between the Orthodox and Evangelical churches.
