About Us
The Network of Evangelicals for the Middle East (NEME) is a collective of pastors, students, scholars and everyday Christians working together as followers of Jesus toward justice and peace, seeking holistic approaches to conflict in the Middle East, and encouraging the church toward deeper engagement with Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the region.
We believe we are at a inflection point where an increasing number of evangelicals are seeking answers to questions about justice over issues like the war in Gaza. As a result, they are seeking evangelical communities where the Gospel message of peace and justice is actively embraced.
