Project Northern Lights

Shine the light of Christ for seafaring travelers from North Africa and the Middle East.
Intersecting the lives of tens of thousands of travelers each season, Project Northern Lights is the largest flow of physical gospel resources into Northern Africa. For decades, teams of volunteers have faithfully offered the Word of God to seafaring travelers along the Mediterranean coast. For many travelers, this is the first time they’ve had the opportunity to receive a copy of Scripture. Praise God for the opportunity to offer the Bible to North African men and women. Your gift will enable the gospel to continue getting into the hands of men and women from Northern Africa and the Middle East. Pray with us that all who receive God’s word will read it and discover the offer of salvation through Jesus.
In recent years, rising costs of fuel, transportation, and lodging have made it difficult for the necessary number of volunteers to participate. Without the participation of volunteers, PNL can’t exist. Your gift will pay for operating expenses, making the trip more affordable for volunteers to participate and directly enabling more people the opportunity to receive a copy of Scripture. Give today and join us in offering God’s Word to thousands who have never heard.

Location

North African and Middle Eastern Peoples

North Africa and the Middle East is consistently thrust into the international news as it develops into one of the world’s most enigmatic-but-influential global regions. Vast economic development typifies its urban centers, offering creative business opportunities for entrepreneurs.

Religious life permeates every society here, whether its residents are Muslim, Christian, or Jewish. Though Christianity began in this cradle of civilization, it is sometimes difficult to know if the church exists. Cities that birthed the gospel now house ornate mosques, temples, and skyscrapers. Thankfully, the church is experiencing a captivating resurgence among this region's 520 unengaged and unreached people groups.

Millions of refugees live here, displaced by war, famine, oppression, or poverty. Many are open to the gospel, seeking an anchor amid the upheaval of their lives. Pray for Christian workers as they share the hope of the gospel during this unprecedented spiritual openness.
