Every day, millions across the world bow in prayer toward this city, and each year, nearly <strong data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"489\">two million pilgrims<\/strong> flood its streets, seeking forgiveness, meaning, and peace. From here, 1,400 years ago, the Prophet Muhammad declared that no other faith should exist on this peninsula \u2014 yet today, in quiet places and hidden hearts, the name of <strong data-start=\"719\" data-end=\"728\">Jesus<\/strong> is being whispered again.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"758\" data-end=\"1201\">Saudi Arabia is changing. Our <strong data-start=\"788\" data-end=\"804\">Crown Prince<\/strong> pushes for modernization, and with that comes cracks of light \u2014 small spaces where freedom and curiosity are beginning to grow. Through <strong data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"985\">digital media, travel, and quiet witness<\/strong>, many Saudis are hearing the Gospel for the first time. Some encounter Christ in dreams; others through believers who risk everything to share His love. The Spirit is moving even in the shadow of the Great Mosque.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1203\" data-end=\"1535\">This is the moment for the Church in Saudi Arabia to rise \u2014 not in defiance, but in devotion \u2014 proclaiming a greater Kingdom and a truer peace. Where once only one message was allowed, now the <strong data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1409\">Good News<\/strong> is taking root. I believe this land, once sealed to the Gospel, will become a fountain of worship to the <strong data-start=\"1515\" data-end=\"1532\">King of Kings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
