Arab Vision - Media for Change

Some 473 million people live in the Arab world. Most of them do not yet know God's Father's heart, His love, grace and forgiveness. Since 1997, Arab Vision has been producing professional, Christian videos in the languages and dialects of the Middle East, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Local Christians share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with their neighbours in the language of their hearts.

Thus, the message of hope, justice and love is spread throughout the Arab world through modern media: satellite TV, internet, social media. Arab Vision produces and distributes the programmes to invite all Arabs to respond and contact our follow-up team, to find a listening ear, share their lives, talk about faith and the meaning of life, and grow in discipleship.

For almost 30 years the hearts and lives of thousands of Arabs in and outside the Arab world have been changed by the power of the Gospel: Egyptians, Yemenis, Algerians, Iraqis, Moroccans, Syrians, Tunisians, Sudanese, Saudis and Palestinians.

Arab Vision's goals

  • Strengthen the Church, the Body of Christ (Revelation 3:2, Acts 16:4-5)
  • Make disciples of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19-20, John 3:16)
  • Stand up against injustice and support the weak in society (Micah 6:8, James 1:27)

Vision

Our vision is an Arab world in which a growing number of vibrant churches in every country and people group in that region play a strategic and public role in society in accordance with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Change based on that Gospel leads to change and renewal in mind and behaviour. (Romans 12:2)

Mission

Arab Vision is a community of Christians in and outside the Arab world committed to transforming people and societies through the gospel of Jesus Christ, by:

  • production and broadcasting of effective video programmes via social media and satellite TV for different target audiences in the languages of the Arab world
  • follow-up and discipleship programmes

Follow-up

Through our videos and social media posts, we aim to reach people, share the Gospel, help build the Kingdom of God in the Arab world.

This is why our follow-up work is so important: people can respond, engage in conversation, share their lives and questions, grow in faith, ask for prayer and advice, be referred to specialised help or a Christian community. There are always people from our team ready to offer a listening ear to those who need it. Our follow-up workers are Arab Christians working mainly from the Middle East and North Africa; some work from countries outside the Arab world for security reasons.

They are constantly trained and mentored to equip them for the responsibility they bear for so many different people and to be well versed in issues affecting individuals and society. Some of our follow-up workers work as coaches to people who follow online discipleship courses.

More than 280 conversations a day!

Our follow-up team numbers about 10 people and handles about 280 unique conversations a day. By 2024, we had more than 3.7 million video views. Per view, viewers continued to watch for at least 30 seconds, which is quite long for social media users. 

Through our YouTube channels, we even had more than 7.8 million views! 7.8 million views!

In the same period, we were able to provide more than 16.000 people with Bibles and links to articles. We could help 8000 people in their journey of faith through online discipleship courses and personal contact. Of these 214 men and women indicated they had accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

Our follow-up workers need a lot of prayer. Will you pray with us?
