Every other word is nonsense — who would even attempt to try to figure out the meaning? But the text above IS life-changing: it’s the beginning of the gospel of John in an old-English Bible. Not long ago, the ONLY kind of “Bible” available in the Arabic language was ancient Arabic. Archaic. Nobody could understand it! Thank God, the missionaries who discovered this determined to create a modern-language Arabic Bible — And now, you’re helping us get this modern-language “Sharif Bible” to Eurasian Muslims … You are bringing hope to those in desperate need. Thank you! The message of eternal…
Their lives are being changed by the power of God’s word!
Across the Arab World, committed missionaries and national believers are engaging with local people to share God’s love in word and deed. They strike up conversations with taxi drivers. They chat with people in conversation classes. They follow up with inquirers who contact Christian satellite or radio ministries seeking more information. Much of the time, local people are eager to receive copies of God’s Word. In fact, Christians are often known as “people of the Book.” The problem is, our workers in the Arab World are finding more interest in Bibles than they have Bibles to share. Not long ago,…
HELP AG CLINIC IN BAGHDAD SAVE MORE REFUGEES FLEEING ISIS!
Access to medicine makes the difference between life and death for millions of Iraqis fleeing ISIS. That’s why the medical clinic of the Assemblies of God church in Baghdad daily brings life-saving medicine to refugees throughout Iraq.

Zaid escaped to Baghdad when ISIS swept through his city two years ago. He desperately needed medicine…

A revival among Muslims is happening now! Hundreds of Muslims are converting to Christ. Part of the fire that is fueling this revival is the Word of God in the form that every Arabic-speaking Muslim can understand – the Sharif Bible. Numerous officials in the Middle East have received a Sharif Bible. One woman who read it announced: “I can understand this! I can read this!” For the first time in her life, she understood a holy book written in the simple Arabic she speaks. Between Sharif Bibles and Sharif New Testaments, over 1.7 million copies are in print. The…
URGENT NEED FOR NEW TESTAMENTS IN IRAQ
Dear Friend of Eurasia, You won’t believe what Aabdar,* a young Iraqi, recently said: “I HATE ISLAM. For the past 12 years, I have watched my home country of Iraq be torn apart by Islamic extremists.” Aabdar was born into a Muslim family. He is one of over a million moderate Muslims fleeing the Islamic State and flooding into the capital of Baghdad from the surrounding provinces. But even in Baghdad they are not safe: the streets of Baghdad are filled with death. The extremists of ISIS force the masses of moderate Muslims to submit to their laws on penalty…
