Back to the Middle East
Michael Parks • May 13, 2026

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Gal 6:9


I received a message from our teams in Lebanon and Kurdistan-Iraq that the situation in their regions is calm… for now… asking me to visit them. That was Sunday. I am now in Lebanon.


Our teams are doing amazing work. War rages around them, but they continue to serve the Lord by love in action, helping many.


In Lebanon, our team works alongside first responders rescuing those injured in the conflict involving Hezbollah and Israel, operates a Christian school, and disciples Christian and Muslim background believers.


In Kurdistan-Iraq, our team helps Iranian Christians in Iran with financial aid and provides a House of Refuge for those fleeing severe persecution, as well as continues to build the Church in Kurdistan-Iraq and Iran.


My time here will be for encouragement, prayer, delivering resources for our work, and helping plan our next steps in this changing situation.


I also interview people to bring to you stories from those who are living through these times in the Middle East.

Please continue to pray that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, will bring lasting peace to this region soon.


Your support will transform lives by providing help (such as food, shelter, and medical assistance) and bring hope to many who are enduring conflict and hardship.

Please pray, there are many difficult situations and no lack of Kingdom opportunities.


Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. Galatians 610


Thank Your & God Bless You!
Grace & Peace

Peace in the Middle East has been discussed, negotiated, and fought over for generations. Less often discussed is what any lasting peace would mean for one of the region's oldest and most vulnerable communities: Middle East Christians.
