Twelve Christian leaders from the Middle East recently shared with nearly sixty Western Christian leaders on the state of the Church in the Arab World. The event was held 20-22 April at the Billy Graham Center in Wheaton, Illinois, USA, and drew leaders from Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq. The event, called Sounds of Hope, gave the Middle Eastern leaders a platform where they could share with North American leaders the circumstances of the fifteen million Christians in the Arab World.
