About This Project
Geopolitical turmoil has presented unprecedented opportunities to serve the spiritual needs of the peoples of Northern Africa and the Middle East. Many people of the region are open to the gospel for the first time. However, the same crises that are creating ministry opportunities also affect the ability of Christian workers to live in many of these areas due to increased danger and threats.
Your gift will fund specialized training for personnel to learn skills that raise their ability to mitigate the risks they face to an acceptable level and provide equipment for them so that they may maintain their ministries in locations with high threat and stress environments. This specialized training will enable field personnel to continue to engage lostness, overcome obstacles, and live in the most challenging places. They will no longer be just surviving but thriving. Your partnership with this opportunity will advance the spread of the gospel by enabling Christian workers to reside in communities where the unreached peoples of North Africa and the Middle East need to hear the Word and see it lived out.
Why direct giving matters
Giving directly to a missionary team helps fund the specific, on-the-ground needs your missionaries care deeply about—needs that aren't covered by CP and LMCO alone.
In the next five years, a globalization goal of all IMB workers is to mobilize 500 local believers to become global missionary partners serving on IMB teams.
100% of your gift directly supports missionaries and their ministries overseas.

Personal protection training offers confidence. The first half of 2023 has been filled with trainings that have empowered NAME personnel to proclaim the gospel boldly. At the beginning of the year, a family on our team traveled to three cities in South Asia, where they taught personal-protection training to 48 women and their daughters.
Preparation equips for the Task. In addition to the personal protection training, your generosity has provided numerous other training opportunities for long-term workers. This past month our team traveled to a NAME country and educated adults in crisis and risk management. We also visited multiple ministry and house locations and completed security assessments on those properties.
