Middle East • 6–8 weeks • Summer 2025 • Status: Open
Team Name: Desert Team • Language Focus: Colloquial Arabic – (20 hours a week)
The Middle East is the spiritual heartland for Muslims everywhere. While there, you’ll experience the vibrant and diverse culture and witness how God is moving in this region.
The country you will visit is home to 80 million Muslims and there is very little outreach to them. There are millions living in this area who have never heard the Gospel. Nubians account for more than a million of these unreached, and we know of no global missionaries seeking to communicate in their mother tongue. Learning Arabic will open the door for long-term work among numerous unreached groups like the Nubians.
