Doing ministry in one of the most complex regions of the world can be daunting. Yet, we believe in the words of Jesus when he tells us that the harvest will always be bigger than what we think (Matt 9:35-38).
Despite the complexity, we are excited to work hand in hand with our neighbors in thinking through, designing, and executing projects that are specifically tailored to enhance and expand local Christian ministry in the MENA region.
Working together to maximize resources and offer creative solutions allows us to harvest more and more of the opportunities that God has so richly provided us.
This "serve others so they can serve others" approach to life and ministry has allowed us to see Christian ministry in places and at a scope that have exceeded even our own dreams of what we thought was possible.

Anyone who has seen the news knows that our region is a deeply complex web of culture, history, and geopolitics, rightfully deserving its reputation for being hard to navigate. We see this complexity leading many Christians and local ministries in the MENA region unable to realize their full potential.
Our belief is that the Gospel reshapes our understanding of a challenge, transforming it from a problem standing in our way into an opportunity to be seized. Ultimately, we be believe that the hope of the Gospel empowers us to meet the spiritual hunger in our region with the resources God has given us.
New Heights was started in part to help others "address the complexity" by offering unique, creative, and effective Gospel-shaped solutions to expand and enhance everyday ministry in the Middle East.

We are deeply honored to be a part of what God is doing in the lives of millions across the MENA region.
God has blessed us with variety of experiences and insights. But through all the design sessions, theological reviews, data analysis, project launches, and review sessions, we want to ultimately witness God working great things in the lives of people.
New Heights believes that partnering to achieve both short- and long-term ministry goals leads not only to a strategically better use of what God has given us but also to a greater impact on the lives, neighborhoods, cities, and countries of the MENA region.
God has blessed our efforts and given us the experience and track record to become the go-to resource for local and international churches, nonprofits, NGOs, families, and individuals who want to serve the spiritual needs of our region.

We are dedicated to meeting the unique ministry needs of one of the most complex regions in the world. All our projects are designed specifically to address the felt needs of those they serve while also being adaptable to various contexts.
In practical terms, this means that our programs must function in locations ranging from a bustling downtown rooftop to a basement bomb shelter in the middle of a war zone.
On any given day, our teams could be working with one of the most elite private Christian schools in the region or an underground house church in a 'closed' community.

We believe that the Gospel reshapes our understanding of a challenge. For us, "a challenge is just an opportunity wrongly considered." We don’t pursue innovation for innovation's sake but believe that the hope of the Gospel empowers us to meet the ever-changing challenges of our region with creative responses, bringing the timelessness of Jesus to whatever we face in this time.
Practically, this means we are constantly workshopping new ideas and improving on current ones. This approach has allowed our programs to reach places that were once thought to be impossible for ministries in our region.

We have been blessed with many ‘successes.’ But for us success, like failure, is primarily to be learned from and used to grow our wisdom in responding to whatever God puts in front of us. We have 1000’s of partners around the MENA region because we have a reputation for consistently producing things that are theologically robust, scripture soaked, and practically useful.
On the ground this means that we are continually testing and getting feedback on whatever we do. Regular data analysis, theological review, user feedback, financial audits, etc give us confidence that what we produce actually does what it is supposed to do.
The desire to be a reliable partner has given us the opportunity to serve people and places that were once known as ‘impossible to serve.’ It has also led to our team to regularly act as advisors to other organizations trying to figure out ministry in a region as complex as our own.

2000 years ago, a few dedicated people from the Middle East started sharing the simple message of “Christ is risen.”
As we approach the second millennium anniversary of The Great Commission in 2033, we believe that God is setting the stage for a Christian renaissance in the Middle East.
In light of the upcoming celebrations, we have set ambitious goals for our organization.
