Jordan's Christians are citizens, not guests. Their story and their message deserve to be heard. Jordanians know both the friendship of Muslim neighbors and the pain of religious prejudice. They are not asking to be rescued from their Muslim neighbors. They want us to understand that Jordan is their country, too. Please read my full piece in RNS below 👇👇👇 religionnews.com/2026/10/29/…

These are challenging times, but also an opportunity for the church to shine. We need Daniel’s courage, the early church’s faithfulness, and the heart of Jesus. May we stand firm in biblical truth, love our neighbors, defend the vulnerable, and never compromise our witness.

I am heartbroken by today's horrific terror attack on a church in Karak, Jordan, that killed seven people and injured dozens more. We know some of the people affected, which makes this tragedy even more painful and personal. My heart goes out to the families who have lost loved ones and to those who are injured. Please join me in praying for them, for the Jordanian church as it cares for those affected, and for the authorities as they work to find those responsible. Jordan and its people are very dear to our hearts. Christians and Muslims have lived alongside one another there for generations, and I pray this terrible act of violence will not create fear and division among its people. Lord, have mercy on Jordan and bring comfort to every family grieving today.

Gaza’s Christian community is being crushed before our eyes. Today, Mary and Maysa were among those horrifically targeted and killed in an Israeli airstrike. They were buried in white plastic bags as you see in the picture during their funeral at church today. I guess there are no more coffins to burry the dead in Gaza. How much more can the people of Gaza endure?

Many people assume the church can only flourish when there is peace, stability, and security. Lebanon tells a different story. In my interview with Dr. Martin Accad (President of the Near East School of Theology in Lebanon), he shares how Christians in Lebanon have learned not to wait for stability before living out their faith. In the midst of war, economic collapse, political uncertainty, and regional conflict, the church continues to serve, love, disciple, and proclaim the hope of Christ. Watch this fascinating conversation with my friend @marzaatar on The Fares Abraham Podcast (YouTube or any podcast platform) to learn more about the beautiful country of Lebanon and its amazing people whom I dearly love. youtu.be/7xSppt46OcE?si=fR5D…

Most Americans hear "Lebanon" and think Hezbollah, war, collapse. That's not the country I know. I sat down with Dr. Martin Accad, joining from Beirut, for a conversation about Islam, justice, and what faithful Christian witness looks like in one of the hardest places in the world.

Part of my interview with Daniel Klein and his journey out of Efrat the Israeli settlement near Bethlehem in the West Bank. Catch the full conversation on my YouTube channel.

When I left my corporate career in Washington DC to launch Levant Ministries, my goal was simple: to go to my hometown in Bethlehem and serve the local community. But my family instantly hit a heartbreaking wall. My wife was born in Gaza. I hold a West Bank ID. Even though we are both American citizens, the Israeli registry system completely bars her from legally living with me in Bethlehem. As I share in this video, this is the reality of a rigid 4-tier ID system. It divides Palestinians geographically across Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Israel. When these tiers cross, normal family life stops. The system decides whether a husband and wife can even sleep under the same roof. Most people don't realize how deeply this system intrudes into the most intimate parts of our lives. We aren't asking for special treatment. We just want the most basic human right: the right to live together as a family and help the Christian community of Palestine survive and thrive.

As awareness of the Nakba spreads, it challenges narratives that have long overlooked Palestinian suffering. In my ministry across the U.S. and abroad, I’ve seen faithful, conservative churches begin to confront this history and even reexamine theologies that have ignored the plight of Palestinians. Nakba Day is no longer just a memorial; it has become a moment of moral reckoning for many beyond Palestine. Read FULL article here: sojo.net/articles/opinion/th…

I sat down with Daniel Klein — an Israeli-American who grew up in a West Bank settlement, served in the IDF, and was raised inside a religious Zionist world that told him Palestinians didn't exist. We talked about what life inside that system actually looks like, how a worldview built on myth eventually collapses, and how he found Christ on the other side of it — and what he believes Christians need to reckon with. The Church needs to hear this. youtu.be/Qb7CPnZEqmE

People grieve when Christ is struck in stone but say far less when the Christians in the Holy Land are hemmed in by fear and uncertainty.

When the image of the IDF soldier destroying a statue of Jesus surfaced, it was impossible to look away. It captured a raw, crude form of desecration that many try to ignore. But condemning a viral image isn’t enough. To truly stand with Middle Eastern Christians, the West must confront the underlying climate that made this moment possible.

To seek God is to enter a holy paradox: the more you find him, the more you realize how much of him you have yet to discover. It is the only pursuit where hunger is actually a sign of satisfaction.
