The MENA Report

Each week the MENA Report shares relevant news from the Greater Middle East. It provides historical context from a biblical perspective introducing you to modern Christian heroes who are defending the faith and shining the light of Christ throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, and Pakistan.

The MENA Report is the podcast of The MENA Collective, a ministry supporting more than 160 ministry partners across 23 countries of the Greater Middle East. With almost two decades of missions and media experience, our host Justin Murff provides you with a front-row seat to experience the Great Commission being fulfilled throughout the Greater Middle East. Welcome to the MENA Report!

Justin Murff is the Executive Director of The MENA Collective and host of the MENA Report. The MENA Collective exists to mobilize prayer, people, and resources to support more than 160 ministries serving across 23 countries of the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, and Pakistan. For twenty years, Justin has worked at the intersection of media, ministry, and politics. In 2001 while attending Bible School in Germany, Justin was introduced to ministry among Muslim background believers. That formative season set the stage the next two decades of ministry. Justin ministered and served in several different ministries and media organizations in the US and Europe. Still, encouraging and equipping believers in the Greater Middle East has remained a constant passion.

Justin has been blessed to minister on six continents and has executive produced thousands of hours of TV and digital media programs.
