    What is AMC?

    Abraham’s Missing Child Initiative is a series of 3 convenings in 3 countries, at which Near Eastern Christian leaders will gather with Israeli Jews and Arab Muslims to discuss practical ways to strengthen indigenous Christian communities in the region. This innovative and groundbreaking approach to the age-old question of minorities of the region is redefining the way that Muslims, Christians, and Jews can work together.

We were able to walk away with a short list of recommendations aimed at building sustainability for Arab Christians in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Israel, and beyond.

The 'Christian East' Is Bigger Than You Know (And Worth Helping)

Where does "the East" begin? The question is as much political as historical. For some the divide is that Europe is the West and Asia is the East. But borders and people move.

A New Promise of Peace in the Near East

Instead, the Philos Project will continue its work protecting the fractured Christian community in the region while also taking advantage of the dramatic shift toward unity after decades of war.
