Missionaries in Middle East/North Africa:

Charles Costa


The Middle East traditionally includes the countries or regions in Western Asia and Northern Africa. Middle Eastern history dates back to ancient times revealing it to be the geographic origin of three of world's major religions: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Today, the Middle East is very diverse when it comes to religion, although Islam is by far the largest and fastest growing religion.

The Middle East has been a major center of world affairs because it is an economically, politically, culturally and religiously sensitive area. Because much of the world's eye is on and focuses around changes in the Middle East, it is a vital time for BMAAM mission work to enter into the region and spread the Word of Jesus Christ despite strong resistance from religions and people who oppose the people and thoughts of the western world.
