GO Feature: Western Asia
May 2023
While cultural shifts have had a visible impact on this country there is a nationalistic pride among the people to become more of an Islamic state. However, there is a warmth and hospitality among these people who are open to relationship. Encompass Global Workers are building relationships in this place and are seeing opportunities to share the Gospel increase, especially among the many displaced people. Serving in partnership with other Global Workers you’ll have the opportunity to be the hands, feet, and voice of Jesus to the least reached. Will you go?
