Transform Outreach in Mediterranean

Today over 450 million live in the 21 nations facing the Mediterranean. It is the entry to the 10/40 window, and its nations are often on the headline news. In many ways this is one of the front lines of modern mission. 11 of the nations are found on George Verwer's top 40 harder to reach nations. Southern Europe is considered a tough place to bring the gospel- Even though it is the cradle of Christianity, many today have never heard of the real hope found in Jesus. But in a time where the Euro crisis is causing people to ask questions- we need to be bringing the gospel message. Cities like Athens are filled with refugees- 20% of Athens- about 1 million are refugees. The Syrian conflict has caused millions to flee and brought tensions to the neighboring nations. Egypt's streets today are filled with protests and violence and its outcome will shape the region. This region needs to hear about the gospel While everyone is watching history on TV- we are asking people to get involved! Transform 2013 begins in Rome on the 15th of July and over 300 from all over the world will join us to prepare and think through what it means to bring the message of the gospel to the nations of the Mediterranean. OM has been sending workers into the region over 50 years. As I write this, and new set of participants are getting ready to leave for Rome. For some, this could shape their lives - We are praying for 30 people who as a result of this event will get involved with the needs in the Mediterranean region at a deeper level. Prayer We are now asking for believers all over the world to join us in prayer as this group explores and is exposed to the needs; - For real impact in the lives of those who get join us - For many to hear the gospel or receive literature - For some to consider investing their lives in the region - For the impact of prayer to open new doors - For encouragement for the local churches who are involved Many thanks on behalf of the Transform leadership team, Gary Witherall you can find our latest stories on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/OMTransform
