Medina, Saudi Arabia

Medina is a city in Saudi Arabia. It’s where Islam originated approximately 1,400 years ago, when its founder, Muhammad, declared that no other religion should exist on the Arabian Peninsula and thus established the Muslim community. As a result, Medina is the second holiest city in Islam. Each year around 2 million Muslims pilgrimage to Medina and to Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. More and more Saudis are growing disillusioned with Islam, however, and coming to Jesus through digital media, traveling abroad, and faithful witness within the nation. With the Crown Prince’s push for a modernized Saudi Arabia, an opportunity presents itself for the Saudi church to stand in opposition to Muhammad’s declaration 1,400 years ago, and to capitalize on greater freedom within their nation in claiming their country for the King of Kings.
