An Update from Angie from the Middle East
Did you know we support a missionary in the Middle East? Well, we do! Here’s Angie’s most recent update to our Mission Cincinnati family. Angie writes:
Hi, from the Arab world!
God has been doing such amazing things during my 6 months of travel around the Arab World. The Middle East is a very diverse region, which includes Arabs, Turks, Kurds, Bedouins, etc.! Though I've worked with Turks and Kurds for the past 4 years, this the first year I have been able to interact with Arabs in a deep and meaningful way. I am convinced the Father's love for Arabs is so special!
One of my Arab friends that I have connected to through my 3 months in the Arab Gulf region is named Sarah.
Sarah and I have been able to grow a beautiful friendship throughout my travels. She comes from a very wealthy, religiously conservative Muslim family. I am one of only two followers of Jesus she knows, and I feel privileged that she feels comfortable enough to talk with me about the struggles of life and faith. Sarah is searching for meaning, and I feel the Kingdom of God has come near to her! Pray for her as I feel she will soon come to believe Jesus to be the way to God and join our Family!
The next 2.5 months will be spent in Lebanon. Myself and a team of 5 others from Egypt, China, America, and Lebanon have been given amazing opportunities to do discipleship trainings at local fellowships, as well as to serve Syrian and Iraqi refugees within the country. We will be living near refugee camps, both distributing aid and getting to know families that live there.
I am looking forward to seeing God's Kingdom come in power to those that are most vulnerable in this time in history. The testimonies I have already heard of healings, miracles, and true joy being found by people living in the camps is exciting!
Please pray for my team and I, that we would be united in heart and purpose to see His Kingdom in Lebanon! And if you'd like to be on my quarterly email update, ask Kristen for my email address!
Thank you for all your prayers! Many blessings to you all, my Mission Cincinnati family!
