Join our team in the Middle East as a Quest Apprentice, and experience firsthand what life looks like as a disciple maker in a cross-cultural context. You’ll be immersed in a team working to ignite and sustain a disciple-making movement among Syrian Arabs—through evangelism, discipleship, prayer, and practical compassion.
