Amin & Esra

Serving in MENA (Middle East North Africa)

My wife and I work together planting house churches among Sudanese refugees and other African nationalities. Now we have 30. The Egyptian government prevents the preaching of the Bible because Egypt works in the Islamic religion. But home churches are safe and financially inexpensive. We believe that God will do a great work in northern Sudan to attract souls towards Christ.
