He surrendered to the call of God to Preach at age 20 and was introduced to Independent Baptist Work. After serving 33 years as a Pastor, he and his wife Mona are now involved in full time Missionary Service in the Middle East and West Africa in partnership with Brother Feghaly.

Mona trusted Christ as her Savior when she was 8 years old and dedicated her life to The Lord from an early age. She has been a faithful helpmeet serving with her husband now for 47 years.

Pastor Milad Khaled was saved as a teenager during the time when Brother Feghaly was the pastor of the Bible Baptist Church in Lebanon. He was baptized and met his wife in the church. He comes from a Catholic background.   After his salvation he immediately became involved in ministry and eventually was ordained and became the pastor of the church in Haddath. He is also the President and co-founder of the Bible Baptist Seminary-Lebanon, an online Bible college. He assists in the ministry across the Middle East.

He is a leader in the ministry in Egypt and supervises the legal aspect of the ministry in addition to being the pastor and a church planter. I met him in 2004 in the country of Jordan where he was working among the Egyptian people. Two years later the Lord called him to come to Egypt to become my partner in serving the Lord. I ordained him on July 12, 2007 and today he is very active in the country of Egypt.

Maher and I planted the NT Baptist Church of Baghdad, Iraq. Presently he is the pastor of the church and also the director of our radio stations located all over Iraq. We have radio stations that are listened and broadcasting the gospel in Basra, Baghdad, El Hillah, Dahuk, and Irbil, Kurdistan.  Brother Maher is a great soul-winner. After ISIS took over Mosul the ministry was not hindered. Instead it expanded with another church established in Irbil, Northern Iraq reaching more than 750 displaced families. Through the radio stations and the churches a large number have heard and continue to hear the Gospel.

This is the pastor of the Baptist Church in Central Lebanon. I knew Brother Karim for many years. Today Karim and his church are reaching a large number of Syrian refugees who fled Syria to Lebanon. In coordination with our ministry, Brother Karim was able to distribute food and medicine to a large number of refugees. Along with this aid New Testaments were distributed and many people have come to know the Lord as their Savior as a result.

He is the pastor of Harvest Baptist Church in Monrovia, Liberia. Dahn’s father, John Demey was led to Christ by the first missionaries to come to Liberia. Later John came to be known as the “Father of the Independent Baptist Churches” in that country.  Brother Dahn Demey started his ministry in a school. Later our ministry helped him build a church and through that church we were able to plant many other churches across Monrovia and that part of Liberia. During the Ebola plague he saw many people dead on the streets and the Lord miraculously saved his life. In February we ordained the pastors of 7 churches that were planted. Brother Demey graduated from the fundamental Baptist College in Accra, Ghana. He is a church planter reaching his people. He is also the director of Liberty Christian Radio Station. Due to the size of the ministry and the fact that it continues to grow, today Brother Dahn  ordained and delivered Harvest Baptist Church to a man who grew under his ministry. Brother Dahn is concentrating on managing the radio station which reaches the whole city of Monrovia and overseeing the ministry of the two Christian schools. He is also supervising the ministry of the safe house which is located in Monrovia as well as other ministries.

Brother NS is a pastor planting a church in the Province of Darfur.
