The Launch - Middle East — Friend of the Bridegroom

Bringing the Gospel Into the Middle East (June 21 - July ?)

This summer, I have the opportunity to spend three weeks in Jordan participating in “The Launch Middle East” — an immersive missions intensive focused on worship, discipleship, evangelism, and serving local communities throughout the region.

Our team will live in close community while partnering with local believers, engaging villages with the Gospel, serving the church, and learning how to communicate and minister effectively across cultures. The heart behind this trip is simple: to love people well and make Jesus known.

Jordan sits in one of the most spiritually and politically significant regions in the world. This experience will not only deepen my understanding of the Middle East and its people, but also strengthen the long-term calling I feel toward reconciliation, ministry, and peacebuilding in the region.

What We’ll Be Doing

Worship & prayer gatherings
Outreach in local villages
Serving and encouraging the local church
Cultural and language immersion
Training in communication, unity, and conflict resolution
Building relationships with people throughout the region

Financial Goal

The total cost for this trip is approximately $3,000, which includes:

International airfare to the Middle East: $1,200–1,600
In-country housing, meals, transportation, and ministry expenses: ~$1,500

Any support given helps make this mission possible and directly contributes to ministry efforts on the ground.

Share

Sharing this page with friends, family, or communities who care about missions and the Middle East is also a huge encouragement.

Not only is this trip a deeply full-circle experience for me personally, but it also further strengthens and confirms the calling I feel toward the Middle East and the people who call this region home. The local leaders facilitating this trip, Daniel and his wife Lydia, carry a sincere apostolic and pastoral heart for Jordan and the surrounding region. As meaningful as the trip itself will be, one of the greatest gifts is the opportunity to build genuine relationship and trust with resident Jordanian leaders who have faithfully devoted their lives to serving their communities and advancing the Gospel in the Middle East.

I believe these relationships will become meaningful and lasting connections as I continue to pursue long-term work throughout the region. In addition, two dear friends whom I previously served alongside in Israel will also be part of this Launch team, making this experience even more personal and significant to me. There are several deeply meaningful factors surrounding this trip that make it feel profoundly anchoring and closely connected to the future I believe God is continuing to unfold.
