    Middle East resources

    Prayer changes things. In the Middle East, BMS World Mission is working alongside our trusted partners to deliver practical help, share the gospel and show God’s love, but we need your intersession to cover this work and this region. These resources will help you and your church pray for Israel, Palestine, Lebanon and the wider Middle East, with prayer requests and other contributions from our partners in the region.
