Transforming Lives through Upper Rooms

The Cost of Sharing the Gospel in the Middle East

The Middle East is a difficult place in which to share the gospel. Every year, Christians in the region face extreme challenges. Many are ostracized from their families, lose their jobs, or even face criminal charges. For some, the cost is even higher, with beatings or death. Sharing the message of Christ is no small sacrifice.

The Mission of the Upper Room Institute

Yet, despite these dangers, a spiritual awakening is happening in the Middle East. God’s Spirit is moving, and thousands are turning to Christ. This revival is both miraculous and urgent. But it raises important questions. How do we reach people for Jesus in a place where church planting is not an option? How do we disciple new believers when resources are scarce, and Christian education is restricted?

The Upper Room Institute was created to meet these exact challenges. As part of Global University, it provides crucial training and discipleship to believers. The Upper Room Institute offers believers access to theological education, training, and materials that would otherwise be out of reach. This initiative is a lifeline for many Christians who risk everything to follow Jesus.

Through the Upper Room, Global University empowers believers to grow in their faith and become strong witnesses for Christ in places where traditional outreach methods are impossible. This project brings the message of hope in a way that is both safe and effective. The Upper Room equips local believers to reach their communities for Jesus with online platforms and secure resources.
