We are seeking those interested in a Quest Apprenticeship in the Middle East.
Time Commitment
6 months – 2 Years.
Overview
This team desires to see a disciple-making movement begin and be sustained among Syrian Arabs living in the Middle East. We work towards seeing self-sustainable simple churches start among this people group through evangelism, discipleship, and training. To complement this evangelistic work, some on our team help start small start-up projects among the Syrian communities to show them Christ’s love not just through our words but also through our desire to see them regain some self-sufficiency. As a Quester, you will experience life as a full-time missionary and gain firsthand experience on a mission field.
Wanted
Singles, Married Couples, and Families are all welcome.
