A few weeks ago, in our service, we heard a story about one of our mission partners, Rafik and this past June, during our Global Mission Conference, we were honoured to sit down with him and hear his story in more depth.
Rafik is an Egyptian mission leader serving courageously across the Middle East and North Africa. Originally a mechanical engineer, Rafik followed God’s unexpected call into cross-cultural mission—beginning with a short-term trip to a closed country. Despite four years with no tangible or relational impact, he remained faithful. Then one day it all changed…
Rafik’s story is a powerful reminder that obedience and perseverance—even in hidden places—can bear incredible fruit for God’s Kingdom.
