Our beloved friends,
I am honored to be nominated to serve for a second term (2018- 2021) as chairman of the accreditation Commission board for the Middle East Association for Theological Education (MEATE). The decision will be ratified within the first week of September in Cairo Egypt. This helps me to serve theological education schools in the region to keep their standard high.
We are honored to have you as partners for so many years, we are in need of your prayers because we are facing tremendous challenges these days.
Nabeeh and Ruba Abbassi

A New Door Opened on Radio
We have a new partnership on air: a local Jordanian broadcast station “Radio Al Balad 92.4 FM” is going to air an average of 60 radio programs from our archive over a one year span, on two separate streamings: one providing a spiritual message, and the other is a live talk show tackling vital women topics aiming at changing destructive mindsets and provoking change. Our TV episodes are basically a rich resource to feed our radio program with up-to-date issues.
Here is what one viewer shared about one presented topic, “The TV episode about Social Intelligence is not only wonderful but rather beneficial, critical and extremely important. Part of this intelligence goes back to the upbringing; we are a creation that continuously learns without a limit. I believe that part of it is born with the person, but yet there are things to be learned, especially as life develops and cultures differ. And as a result of the intellectual diversity when people mingle because the world has become a small village."

Wholehearted efforts vibrating love from the Center
Our ACCTS Irbid Community Center (ICC) is working vigorously bringing an everlasting impact to the community and the souls of Syrian refugees and poor Jordanians being served through the different activities. The work being performed is unique and highly appreciated. The center and staff are making sure the person in their care receives the respect and dignity that is every person's basic human right. It is making a difference, opening life opportunities and bringing people to a clearer identification with their true image in the eyes of God.
"The center itself is my success story. I love the place and the people working at it. Through the center, I could find myself and my value because of the way we were treated as respected human beings. This center is completely different from all other centers." – Dania, the craft program.
