Colorado Springs group celebrates half century of ministry to Arabs

Abdul traveled from the Middle East in 1972 to America to preach the Christian Gospel to Arab Americans. He bought a newspaper ad inviting people to attend a service in Arabic. After First Nazarene Church offered him free office space, they decided to move to Colorado Springs. Paul* hosted more than 60 conferences for Arabic Christian pastors. 'The seeds that were planted from Voice of The Truth headquarters, Colorado Springs, have grown in incredible ways,' a document commemorating the occasion. Through our programs, literature, churches, and churches, three to four million Arabic-speaking people have heard the Gospel. The ministry also hosts a Sunday church service in Arabic and a weekly Bible class in English. Abdul was not born Abdul. He was adopted to cover himself and his family. About 3.7 million Americans are rooted in Arab countries today. Elass stated that the Muslim world was viewed as hard soil and impenetrable soil from the time of Mohammed's passing in the mid-600s. The Gospel seed would not take root there. "Let's take a look at other parts of the world," evangelists often say. "Evangelists often say, "Let's look elsewhere in the world." This is because of the many dangers associated with evangelism within the Middle East. The ministry's 2020 income was less than $800,000. About 70% of the budget was spent in the U.S. and the rest on international work.
