“Bibles for Mideast” is an underground ministry serving the Middle East and several nearby countries. A total of 17 nations make up the Middle East, with an estimated population of 411 million (as of 2016). While Islam remains the largest religion, thousands of people secretly believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Living in mostly highly restricted areas, they hunger and thirst for the Word of God.

By God’s grace, we distribute bibles free of charge and establish house churches for new believers. We have volunteer ministers and a number of gospel teams in the Middle East and some other countries in Asia and Africa.

Many of our gospel team members have converted to Christianity from Islam, and operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Experienced in effective personal evangelism, they also conduct crusades and pastor house churches.

12 Arabs in Middle East newly-baptized!

June 10, 2016/ Bibles for Mideast

(June 10, 2016) By the grace of our Lord, 12 new believers from five Arab families in the Middle East were baptized this morning. Pastors of Bibles for Mideast led the baptismal service, held after three days of prayer and fasting. It was a tremendous blessing.

Many people had taken part in the fasting and prayer. Please pray for all of them and their families. Pray also that the newly-baptized believers will grow in the Spirit.

And pray that the entire Middle East will experience the salvation of Jesus Christ.

Please also pray for the pastors and missionaries of Bibles for Mideast and our many underground churches.

Bibles for Mideast

We are an underground ministry serving the Middle East and a number of nearby countries. A total of 17 nations make up the Middle East alone, with an estimated population of 411 million (as of 2016). While Islam remains the largest religion in the region, thousands of people secretly believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Living in mostly highly restricted areas, they hunger and thirst for the Word of God. By God’s grace, we distribute bibles free of charge, and establish house churches for new believers.

We have volunteer ministers and a number of gospel teams in this area and other countries in south Asia and Africa. Many of our gospel team members have converted to Christianity from Islam, some from Hinduism, and all operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Experienced in effective personal evangelism, they also conduct crusades and pastor house churches.

What did Jesus do for us?

Jesus was born, that
we might be born again.
He became poor, that
we might possess wealth.
He became homeless, that
we might have a mansion.
He was stripped, that
we might always have clothes.
He was forsaken, that
we always should have friends.

He was bound, that
we might have perfect liberty.
He was saddened, that
we might have full joy.
He descended, that
we should be lifted up.
He became a servant, that
we might be sons forever.

He was made sin, that
we should share
His righteousness.
He died, that
we should not taste
eternal death.
He will come down, that
we might go up.

All of this—that
He might display in us
the riches of His grace,
and so we can dwell
with God in heaven.

Have you given
your heart to Jesus?
If not, allow Him
to come into your heart.
Accept Him
As your Lord and Savior
with your heart and mouth.

Our Lord Jesus’ return
is very near.
Be ready to receive Him.
Even so, COME, LORD JESUS.
Amen! Amen! And amen!
