For several years one of our brothers has made visits in the Gulf region where many Christians are migrant workers. Christians of all Confessions make up a wide tapestry of the Church and gather in large numbers for their weekly celebrations. In the beginning, our brother initiated prayers in the Catholic Church of the Vicariate of Southern Arabia based in Abu Dhabi and in the Anglican Church.

Very soon he will be visiting this region again at the invitation of the Vicariate of Southern Arabia where the Young Adult Ministry is preparing a series of meetings and prayers based on the theme «Journeying Together». For the first time, he will also visit the Vicariate of Northern Arabia based in Bahrain where meetings are being organised in the Syrian Orthodox Church of India and the Anglican Church, The Jesus Youth movement are part of the preparation team.

Several meetings will then follow on in India.
