Courageous witness in the Middle East

Last year, we introduced you to Yasin* in Iraq – and, with your help, he continues to take extraordinary risks to reveal the gospel to others.

Since sharing his story with you, he awoke one morning to another threatening letter. “Stop what you’re doing, or we will kill you,” it said. “Sometimes, we are even afraid to go outside,” says Yasin.

And yet, with astonishing courage, he keeps sharing the gospel. We told you about two people he’d introduced to Jesus, and now a further two are exploring faith. Through social media, he’s preached to a Mullah (Islamic leader) and prayed with him. He’s now reading the Bible.

Crucial to Yasin’s brave faith and witness are the conferences and seminars hosted by local partners that he attends. He’s just one of thousands of Christians in the Middle East you helped in 2025, with other initiatives including trauma counselling in Syria and leadership seminars for believers from Iran. Thank you!
