DUBAI |
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES |
Dubai is the capital city of the emirate of Dubai, one of the wealthiest of the seven emirates. Dubai has been compared to Hong Kong and is regarded as the Middle East’s premier trading post. Dubai is a city of skyscrapers, beaches, and big business. |
Due to its large expatriate population, there is religious diversity and tolerance within the city. However, the government has been criticized for being authoritarian when the ruling Sheikhs are brought into question. Converts from Islam often receive pressure to renounce their faith from family and community members. |
Due to this, many followers of Jesus don’t exercise their faith publically. This is the hour for the church in Dubai to stand boldly for their faith in Jesus and make disciples of the various peoples he has brought to their prospering land. |
