We invite you to join us in prayer for our International Workers serving across the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula during a season of heightened uncertainty.
Recent developments in the region have created rapidly changing conditions that affect daily life, travel, and routine. In response, our workers and their families are taking prudent steps, remaining closely connected with leadership, and making thoughtful, day‑by‑day decisions. While many of them are experienced in complex contexts, moments like these can bring added emotional and spiritual strain—especially for children and teens.
Even so, we are encouraged by the quiet faithfulness we continue to see. Our colleagues remain deeply committed to the ministries God has entrusted to them and to the communities they serve. They continue to walk alongside local friends, churches, and partners with care and humility, holding fast to their calling even as circumstances require patience and flexibility. In places where uncertainty feels close, their posture remains one of presence, prayer, and trust.
How You Can Pray
Please join us in lifting up these workers and their families:
- For God’s protection and peace—that His covering would surround each person physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and that His peace would guard their hearts and minds.
- For wisdom and discernment—as they navigate changing circumstances, make timely decisions, and respond with calm, clarity, and trust in God.
- For the nearness of Jesus—that His presence would be deeply felt in their homes, bringing courage, resilience, and hope in uncertain days.
- For emotional and mental well‑being, especially for children and youth, as routines are disrupted and new anxieties may surface.
- For a strong sense of community—that they would know they are supported, remembered, and faithfully upheld in prayer by the wider body of Christ.
Thank you for standing with our International Workers during this season. Your prayers matter deeply, and we are grateful for the way God knits us together as we seek Him on behalf of those serving in complex places.
An Update and Invitation to Pray (12 March 2026)
Middle East & Arabian Peninsula
As conflict continues across parts of the Middle East and surrounding region, we invite our churches and partners to join us in prayer, trusting that God remains present, faithful, and at work.
Across the region, our International Workers and their families are currently sheltering in place and navigating daily life with care and attentiveness. Seasons like this can be emotionally demanding and deeply challenging, particularly as uncertainty lingers and familiar rhythms are disrupted. Yet even in these circumstances, our colleagues continue to walk closely with God—listening for His voice, trusting His guidance, and placing each day in His hands.
We are encouraged by their steady faithfulness. They remain committed to the ministries God has entrusted to them and to the communities they serve, holding their calling with humility, patience, and hope. When movement is limited and plans are paused, their posture remains one of prayer, presence, and trust in the Lord who goes before them.
We invite you to join us in praying for God’s continued protection, peace, and sustaining presence across the Middle East and Arabian Peninsula, and for all those who live and serve there during this season.
