First Large-Scale Navigator Shipment Reaches the Middle East

Last year, more than 1.5 million people journeyed to Saudi Arabia for the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. This year, Leading The Way‘s solar-powered Navigators crossed multiple checkpoints to enter one of the world’s most restricted regions for Gospel ministry. But the work doesn’t stop there.

Through a secure partnership that cannot be publicly disclosed, thousands more Navigator devices have reached a confidential location in the Middle East, where they are being loaded with the Arabic New Testament and more than 150 of Dr. Michael A. Youssef’s messages—our first large-scale Navigator shipment to the Middle East. After many months of prayer, this historic step significantly expands our underground distribution network in the region, making it possible to reach people who may have no other opportunity to hear the Gospel.

These discreet devices will travel by backpack, suitcase, and hand across rugged terrain and through tightly controlled borders into some of the hardest-to-reach places in the Middle East, carrying the life-giving message of Jesus Christ.

The Middle East is home to many of the world’s least-reached people groups, where severe restrictions often limit access to Bibles, Christian resources, and missionaries. But your partnership is helping establish and strengthen an underground distribution network, placing the Truth of God’s Word into the hands of countless people and equipping believers to share it with others.
