Arabic New Testament in the Kuwaiti Dialect: One-of-a-Kind Project

Did you know that the Arabian Gulf is home to approximately 4-5 million Christians?! While most are expatriates, Kuwait has a small but vibrant native Christian community.

We are delighted to share that on June 7th, Bethlehem Bible College celebrated the graduation of 41 students—31 from our main campus in Bethlehem and 10 from our partner institution, Nazareth Evangelical College.

We are incredibly proud of each graduate and the perseverance they have shown through challenging times.

Our recent visit to Tete Province, Mozambique, was both productive and deeply inspiring. I traveled with Outreach Foundation Trustee Tom McDow and my wife, Elizabeth. While we had hoped for a larger team, we scaled back due to lingering unrest following Mozambique’s national elections.

We visited several villages alongside our local partners, including project director Sebber Banda, assistant director Rev. Carlos Faquione, and Presbytery Moderator Rev. Valentim Manuel. In Chimphako, we laid the groundwork for a new church to be built in 2026.

From International Antioch Ministries

We are overjoyed to share a powerful testimony from Brother Hossein, one of our courageous leaders in Iran. Amid the ongoing challenges of the Iran-Israel conflict, Hossein has opened his modest home to both believers and non-believers seeking refuge from fear and uncertainty. His heart burns with a passion to share the love of Jesus, and his home has become a sanctuary where the Gospel is proclaimed.
