Commentary 
A verse by verse New
Testament Bible Commentary has always been the preferred method for Bible Students and
teachers alike to further their Biblical Knowledge and ministry. The author William
MacDonald is a well-known respected Bible Teacher who has for more than forty years
written directly about the key issues of Christianity. The Believer Bible Commentary
published in English by Thomas Nelson, encompasses both the Old and New Testament. This
major work is the conclusion of nearly twenty years of hard diligent work for brother
MacDonald. The project of Arabic translation was first undertaken in 1992. LPG undertook
that project by faith using general funds from LPG. Although the majority of efforts were
paid for, but we would like to note that many efforts were sacrificially and voluntarily
offered in order to complete this major project. Without naming them, our many thanks to
all those who have already been involved in the production and to all those who will be
involved in he distribution of this blessed commentary.

The news of God's Word in the Arab World
LEBANON
The Evangelical churches have experienced a relative slow growth period this last year.
The main factor to blame is the suppressing opposing effect of the nominal churches in
Lebanon. Unfortunately some Evangelicals Pastors are beginning to be swayed toward
ecumenism, and as a result the preaching is becoming lukewarm in their churches. Pray for
the faithful few to persevere and multiple in order to complete the work of the church in
Lebanon. Encouraging reports were transmitted to us about the effective work being done in
Northern Lebanon.
IRAQ
Five Evangelical churches are the burgeoning nucleus of the future of Christianity in
Iraq. Without a doubt we can say that revival has began in Iraq. Every church is filled to
capacity and serious talks are being made with the government about establishing the sixth
Evangelical church.
EGYPT
The church is showing continued growth and resilience in the midst of mounting
hostilities and pressures by the extremists groups. Most churches are located in Cairo,
Alexandria, and in Upper Egypt. The Evangelical Church of Egypt leads the group with a
total of 320 churches and almost 300,000 members. Other groups include the Free Methodists
(120 churches) Assemblies of God (100 churches) and the Brethren. Pray that the Christians
in Egypt persevere in their witness despite the constant threat and actual dangers they
are living under. Praise God for the continued growth.
The Christian literature production continues to be very active. Pray that sound and
effective Christian books will continue to be produced and translated in Egypt.
PALESTINE
The church seems to be emerging in the midst of a tense atmosphere. Pray for the
Baptist churches in Haifa and in Nazareth. Pray also for the Brethren church in Koufr
yassif, Pray also for the Nazarene church in the city of Nazareth.
SUDAN
The church is a suffering church and continues to be the fastest growing field of all
the Arabic world. It needs our support and prayers. At times there has been incidents of
actual crucifixion of Christians in Susan. Despite this the decisions to follow Christ are
made daily at the rate of 25000 decisions per year. Pray that this tremendous force will
be discipled adequately and be used mightily by the Lord. Pray for the many national and
Egyptian missionaries who are continuing with their aggressive evangelism in the south.
Pray for the government to ease it's persecution to the Christian minority. The
Presbyterians lead the growth in Sudan with 286 churches and over 100,000 members. Pray
for the Arabic church in the North which is minute. The majority of Christians are from
the South.
JORDAN
The Evangelical Church continues to experience a steady growth. All denominations
appear to be doing well. A special prayer needs to be voiced for the Brethren Assemblies
for the huge vacuum left by the loss of the beloved Bro, Roy Whitman. Pray that new
leadership will emerge among the brethren churches and also for a new convenient local for
Amman Free Evangelical Church. The summer Christian camps are a major source of growth
that are worthy to be prayed for.
SYRIA
The Evangelical Church is growing all over Syria. The Lord is adding to the number of
believers in almost all sectors. Particular growth seems to be taking place in the regions
of Lattaquich in the west. Hasake in the North, and Houran in the south. More Christian
workers are needed in Syria. The Alliance churches seem to be taking the lead among the
Evangelicals. We need to pray for the leadership of the church in Syria that more
committed and responsible workers will be raised by the Lord. Pray that continued
evangelism and sound teaching will bring many more into the already established churches.
We praise God for the freedom enjoyed by the Christians living there.
