Did you know?

The Middle East

There are 22 Countries in the Arab world. 166 million women live there. Most Arab women do not go to school or work. Consequently about 60% of Arab women cannot read or write. Most Arab women don't go to school or work. They are often poor and unable to support themselves and their children. They often do not have the opportunity to even choose their husband. In most cases he is chosen by the young woman’s parents. And men have the legal right to abuse their wives.


22 Arab countries with 166 million women. 60% of them cannot read and write, but: God created them in His image.


God wants these women to know who they are in Him – woman created in His image (Genesis 1:27)
As Christ’s ambassadors we want to be His voice reaching out to the voiceless.
