Stand With a Strategy
That Is Reaching the Middle East.
Most believers care about the unreached but never find a credible way to engage the Middle East. Matt and Julie Hattabaugh have served from Beirut since 2017, training national leaders, planting churches, and broadcasting the Gospel into 22 nations. The path to stand with that work begins here.
On the Ground in Beirut Since 2017.
If you have ever wanted to invest prayer or giving into the Middle East and felt unsure where to start, you are not alone. The region is hard to read from a distance. Headlines crowd out the work of God. Most believers care deeply about the unreached but lack a trusted source for what is actually happening across the Arabic-speaking world.
Matt and Julie Hattabaugh have lived and served in Beirut since 2017. They have planted three churches, ordained national leaders, built a regional ministry training center, and overseen monthly Gospel broadcasts that reach more than five million viewers. It is led by national believers and producing fruit you can name.

The Window Is Open. It Will Not Stay Open Forever.
Three hundred ninety-three unreached people groups live in the 22 nations of the Middle East and North Africa. Roughly 347 million people have no self-sustaining indigenous community of believers capable of evangelizing them in their own language. The Joshua Project classifies sixty-eight percent of MENA people groups as unreached.
The doors that are open today have not always been open, and there is no guarantee they will remain open. National believers are being trained and sent right now. Without sustained Western partnership the training slows, leaders are forced back to bivocational survival, and momentum that is hard to recover is lost. The cost of waiting is not zero.
Five Hundred Believers Standing With a Region of 347 Million.
Five hundred monthly partners is the number that sustains everything: leadership training, church planting, broadcast outreach, and worker mobilization across 22 nations. Each partner stands in for one piece of a movement that is already under way.
Watch Julie explain it in two minutes, then take your place.
The Harvest Is Ready.
Stand With the Work That Is Reaching It.
Every monthly partner shortens the distance between the Gospel and an unreached home in the Arabic-speaking world. Every prayer carries the work of an indigenous leader you may never meet on this side of eternity. The harvest is plentiful, and the Lord of the harvest is sending workers. Stand with them.
