An Amazing Fact: Saudi Arabia has been developing a massive 100-mile-long city known as “The Line”—a futuristic vision where drone taxis fly and a bullet train carries residents from one end to the other in 20 minutes. If successful, the world’s largest and most expensive construction project will rise in a region where millions still have no opportunity to encounter Bible truth.
Blanca could not escape the dreams. Night after night, she saw fiery scenes of hell and felt no hope of escape. She prayed. Attended mosque. Read the Quran. Her darkness and depression only deepened—until your gifts placed God’s Word within her reach.
She bought a Bible to disprove her boyfriend’s Christianity. Then, because you made Amazing Facts’ resources accessible in multiple languages, Blanca found hope instead. “Peace filled my heart. For the first time, I felt like God actually loved me.”
Blanca read the Ten Commandments and wondered: What is the Sabbath? She searched online—and there you were again. Your caring gifts had placed Amazing Facts Bible teachings right where she could find them. She watched. She learned. She believed.
That first Sabbath, the nightmares were replaced by a dream of beauty and peace. In time, Blanca was baptized, attended AFCOE discipleship training, and later shared simple truths with strangers during our Prophecy Odyssey meetings in New York.
A Rare Invitation
Friend, what you did for Blanca is remarkable. Her story represents multitudes who are searching for answers but have never seen a Bible or heard the gospel. They risk everything when they explore the teachings of Jesus. And in the very heart of the Middle East, people like Blanca are everywhere.
That is why, after earnest prayer, I have accepted a one-of-a-kind invitation to travel to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain this spring. A mission leader from this area visited our office and asked for help, and I felt the same unmistakable tug Paul experienced with the Macedonian call (Acts 16). Sometimes God opens a narrow door into a hard place. When He does, we must walk through it …
A Tiny Beginning Multiplied
Twenty-five years ago, God opened a quiet door to China. Our team held a small meeting, left a dozen Final Events DVDs in Mandarin, and did no advertising. Today, millions in China, from nearly every faith group, have watched that film. It spread person to person until it reached across the whole country! God multiplied that tiny beginning—and now He is opening a similar door into the Middle East.
This spring, our team will encourage believers, offer biblical resources, strengthen workers, and cautiously share plain truth with visitors at discreet gatherings. We cannot publicly promote these meetings—to do so would put believers at risk.
Will You Spark a Spiritual Revolution?
If this effort is to spark something bigger—something God can multiply—we must equip the region with tools that safely reach people. Will you co-labor with us to:
- Translate truth into Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, and other regional languages
- Strengthen satellite broadcasting into Iran and the Arabian Peninsula
- Expand internet evangelism in the languages of the Middle East
- Provide digital discipleship materials that believers can share privately
- Support frontline workers who often feel isolated and forgotten?
This is how Blanca found truth—and how many others can find it, one quiet heart at a time. Doors in closed countries often open only briefly. That is why, when God opens even a sliver of light, we must walk through it immediately.
Will you help lay the foundation for a movement of Bible truth in the Middle East? Your gift will help plant something small that God can multiply—just as He did in China. Whatever God impresses your heart to give, it will make an eternal difference around the world through Amazing Facts’ evangelistic programs.
As a token of gratitude for your generous gift this month, I will send you my message Learning to Love While Limping Through Life. Please include your prayer request so we can pray for you—and pray for our safety during this trip.
Thank you for caring deeply for people you may never meet until heaven.
With deepest gratitude,
Pastor Doug Batchelor
President, Amazing Facts International
P.S. Blanca found hope because your caring gifts placed truth within reach. Today, millions in the Middle East are searching in secret just as she once did. Your gift will help translate vital materials, strengthen satellite broadcasting, and expand internet outreach into the most spiritually restricted nations on Earth.
