About the Ministry
Despite its role in the infancy of the early church, modern day Middle East-North Africa region is largely hostile to the Gospel and dominated, instead, by Islam. Still, God is at work in this region, and there is a gospel movement coming out of the heart of the region.
Amidst the pressures and persecution, God is raising up young nationals to know Him and to lead churches and ministries in His name. Equipped and then launched from their training, young believers of the Arabic speaking world go out to countries across the region—to places where they are uniquely gifted to serve with their appearance, language, and cultural understanding.
The leaders of this project, Aquila and Priscilla, focus on discipling North African and Middle Eastern believers so that nationals can go on to lead churches and ministries among their own people and near neighbors in this region. Aquila and Priscilla do this primarily through intensive training, mentoring, outreach camps, English camps, and a nine-month internship program designed for intense discipleship. As a result of Aquila and Priscilla’s ministry in the MENA (Middle East North Africa) region to young people, God has raised up a multitude of nationals who love Jesus and desire to proclaim His name in their cities and countries alongside their local church.
Ministry Focuses
Meet the Leaders: Aquila and Priscilla (pseudonym)
Aquila and Priscilla disciple Middle Eastern and North African young adult believers to become reliable, gospel focused leaders in their communities and local churches. They work among the Majority and historically Christian communities in outreach and discipleship. As young adults give their life to Christ and grow in him, Aquila and Priscilla sow seeds of understanding the Great Commission, preparing them to be part of a missions sending movement within this region. Aquila and Priscilla equip the next generation of leaders to go out among unreached people groups of their own nation and nearby nations. Where the early church began and grew long before the grip of Islam entered in, now national leaders are equipped to carry the good news into gospel destitute places.
In 2008, Aquila and Priscilla began a yearly, multi-lingual, nine-month training program for young potential church and mission leaders. Over the years their disciples have become pastors, youth and worship leaders, and church planters in various countries across North Africa and the Middle East.
