Expository Preaching Certificate

TMAI has shown me that expository preaching is for men who are willing to study hard, give relevant application to today's world, and deliver with zeal God's living Word. There is a need today in the churches for expository preaching, and few are the men who are willing to give their sweat and tears.

The Middle East is a region of countries located in West Asia extending into Africa. It is made up of 17 different countries with many different ethnic groups: Arabs, Bengalis, Egyptians, Filipinos, Jews, Hindus, Greeks, Sri Lankans, Sikhs and Pakistanis. Its estimated population of over 411 million includes 13 million Arab migrants.

The religious background of this region is very diverse. Many major religions originated in this region, such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Islam is the most practiced religion across the region, although this does vary by country. One region, for example, has over 40% of the population that follows Christianity.

There are five main languages: Persian, Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish and Berber. Arabic is the most spoken language in Middle Eastern countries, with Persian being the second most. In many Middle Eastern countries, English is taught and used as a second language.

Nominal Christians make up approximately 5% of the total Middle Eastern population, down from 20% in the early 20th century.
