In 1976, God placed a burden on my heart to invest deeper in the lives of those around me. A dentist by profession, I resigned from my dental practice in Cairo, Egypt, to pursue full-time Christian ministry. In 2000, launched the Middle East Leadership Training Institute (MELTI), which reached 800,000 in the Middle East in the past 20 years.Headed Christian ministries launching the Bible Society of Egypt fundraising department, leading Middle East and North Africa operations for Walk Thru the Bible, Purpose Driven, and Haggai Institute, led Walk Thru the Bible International operations for five yearsIn 2018, and with the refugee crisis, God deepened my burden, calling me to expand my vision for investing in people by strengthening leaders around the world. 4G3 was birthed to embolden displaced and persecuted Christians in the Middle East to stand firm in their faith. 4G3 emboldens displaced and persecuted Christians stand firm in their faith through a 15-month, 70-hour core curriculum of biblical, theological, and discipleship Institutes. Some program participants are refugees, while others remain in their home countries despite severe persecution. By partnering with organizations that produce high-quality biblical content, we provide vital training for leaders in our institutes and for individuals in churches and small groups. I learned what it takes to train and equip Christians of impact. It's not just about sharing knowledge. It’s about long-term investment in the whole life of a leader. It’s about growing individuals into leaders who will become catalysts of change in their families, churches, communities, and nations, all for the global glory of God. Wahid Wahbawahid.wahba@4G3.org
