'Embrace the Middle East' Lent study guide

Six Middle Eastern Encounters. A journey across the Middle East to witness extraordinary hope and transformation entering women's lives. The free 2016 Lent study guide has six sessions which all include bible study, prayer, information, 'inside the story', monologues and actions. Each session will introduce you to a different woman from the Bible who encountered Jesus and was changed forever; and bring you face to face with a woman from the Middle East today who is being empowered to live a fuller life through Embrace's work.

You can download, for free, the entire guide or each encounter individually. Use them on your own, in small groups or as a whole Church.
