26. Dr. Naim Khoury

Dr. Naim Khoury is founder of some of the largest Arab Churches in Israel and the Palestinian Territories.

He was born in the Old City of Jerusalem and comes from a Greek Orthodox family. His stand as an Arab Christian to share his passion for the Bible with the Arab people and his love for his neighbors the Jews in the land has often put him in some of the most dangerous situations, which has made his life and ministry a target to many.

His support for Israel and God’s eternal covenant with the Jewish people, his stand for a united Jerusalem, and his refusal to compromise preaching the entire Word of God have led to assassination attempts on his life and persecution of his church.
