Hear Bobby share, in his own words, how God moved in his life through this church family in Dubai.
Hear Susan share, in her own words, how God moved in her life through this church family in Dubai.
Hear Rajeev share, in his own words, how God connected him to this church family in Dubai.
By the grace of God, I got connected to this church when I came to Dubai. Since then, I have been part of its vision and have been blessed with the opportunity to serve on the leadership team. It has been a wonderful journey of spiritual growth, learning, and serving God's Kingdom. Through the sound teaching of God's Word, anointed services, and the fellowship of believers, my faith has been strengthened, and I have been equipped for ministry.
I have had the privilege of being part of this church since its very beginning, and witnessing its growth has been inspiring. From day one, the church has been a place where God's Word is preached with clarity, faith, and love. The warm fellowship, genuine care among members, and the strong spiritual leadership have helped me grow deeper in my relationship with Christ. The church has consistently provided encouragement, support, and opportunities to serve and worship together as one family in Christ. What stands out most is the passion for revival, prayer, and reaching people with the message of hope and salvation. I thank God for Middle East Revival Church and for the countless blessings, friendships, and spiritual growth I have experienced over the years. It has truly become a home for me and my family. I look forward to seeing how God continues to use this church to impact lives and bring glory to His name.
I am blessed to be part of Middle East Revival church (MERC) family from the day it started in the city of Dubai. MERC has helped three of my blessed children grow in His fear through Kids Church and obedience in water baptism. God has been a very good God protecting me and my family, caring and extending our lives. Praise Him for I am still breathing and thanks to all the pastors and church members for their fervent prayers.
Praise the Lord. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to share my testimony. By God's guidance, I was led to this church, and the love, fellowship, and warm welcome of the church members made me feel that I truly belonged here. I had the privilege of being part of the Kids Church ministry, helping to teach and nurture the children. It has been a joy to witness the growth of the Kids Church — from a humble beginning with only eight children to a thriving ministry with classes ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 10. Our pastor has always placed great importance on ensuring that children receive a strong biblical foundation. The curriculum and teaching materials were carefully designed to help them understand and apply God's Word. In addition to the regular classes, we have been blessed to organize annual programs such as Vacation Bible School (VBS), Talent Scan, and New Year programs for the children. Over the years, I have had the privilege of witnessing many children grow spiritually, develop a personal relationship with God, and dedicate their lives to serving Him. Seeing God's faithfulness in their lives has been a great encouragement and blessing to me. All glory and honour belong to God alone.
