MERF is engaged in encouraging and strengthening the Church throughout the Middle East, North and East Africa, as well as Indonesia and Pakistan.  Non-Christians are responding to the challenge of the Gospel of Christ. They are being discipled by national Christians. Those in need are being helped spiritually and materially. The Lord Jesus Christ has raised up indigenous missionaries to serve Him in Arab and Muslim lands. These workers serve under local Reformed and Presbyterian churches. Our ministries include:

1. Evangelism

MERF is reaching Muslims and others through gospel broadcasts, web sites, and literature in the Arabic (targeting 340 million in 22 nations), Farsi (reaching Iran, Azerbaijan and Afghanistan), Dinka and Nuer of South Sudan), Amharic and Oromo (Ethiopia), Somali (covering the Horn of Africa) and the five Indonesian languages: Javannese, Sundanese, Bugis, Makassar and Toraja. Preparations are underway for airing Gospel messages in the Urdu language of Pakistan.

2. Church Extension

MERF is helping expand the Kingdom of Jesus Christ through trained nationals working in Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Chad, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, the Arabian Gulf and Indonesia.

3. Biblical Training

MERF is discipling converts and church leaders by equipping those already knowledgeable in local language and culture.

4. Diaconal Aid

MERF reaches out with Christ's compassion for the suffering. Based on biblical principles, this work of mercy is exercised by a consistent ministry of word and deed (Gal. 6:10).

Join us in declaring the whole counsel of God to millions of unreached people.
