Origins
The work in the Middle East, beyond Egypt, began in 2002 when a Free Methodist North American missionary family moved to Amman, Jordan, and began networking with and ministering to Iraqi refugees residing in Amman. A key Iraqi leader affiliated with the Free Methodist Church in the fall of 2003 and became our first ordained FM Iraqi pastor. Through his contacts, a FMC was established in Amman, Jordan, which focused on Iraqi refugees. This church then planted a daughter church in Baghdad, Iraq, in the summer of 2003. Present Ministries
A second Free Methodist Church has been opened in Jordan, a mix of Jordanians and Iraqis. An Egyptian pastors the first church, and a young Jordanian pastor gives leadership to the second. Both of these churches are spiritually vibrant and have tremendous potential. Outreach
