Hope for the Middle East – An Evening with Brian Newman
27 January 2026 | 19:00

We invite you to a special evening with Brian Newman for an open and thoughtful conversation about the Middle East — one grounded in faith, listening, and hope.

With decades of experience working alongside Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities in the Middle East, Brian brings unique and insightful perspectives that ultimately lead us back to the heart of our faith: love.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no commandment greater than these.”
(Mark 12:30–31)

Brian Newman previously served as Senior Pastor at Crossroads (2000–2005).

In 2011, he founded The Isaac Ishmael Initiative, an organization dedicated to bringing together Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and promoting peace — particularly between Jews and Muslims — with Jesus Christ as the hope for true peace. Through Isaac Ishmael, Brian equips Christians to love and engage meaningfully with Jewish and Muslim communities.

An evening of honest dialogue, deep faith, and a hopeful vision for the Middle East — you’re warmly invited.
