About My Family

I am Amer Safadi from Jordan. My wife, Victoria, is from Morocco. We met in September 2009 in Lebanon at a ministry conference. We married in Jordan in 2011.

We have two beautiful twin daughters, Yoanna and Agape. They are 8 years old now.

About My Church Plant

I was a pastor’s assistant for more than 11 years in Jordan when God called us to move to US. Praise the Lord, we moved to Cincinnati to serve among the Arab and Muslim community here, and by God’s grace we launched the first Arabic church in Cincinnati’s history on Dec 2019. And now by God Grace, we will launch the first Southern Baptist Arabic church in northern Kentucky’s history by Christmas 2022. Praise the Lord, we are now praying and moving forward to plant in Columbus, Ohio, and Cleveland, Ohio, by Easter 2023. We are moving forward to have five new planters ready to plant in 2023, all the glory to our Lord and Savior.

NAMB Church Planting

Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is person who, in response to God’s call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at “Send me.”

Pray

Pray please for my vision that our Lord brought me and my family from Jordan to do. Pray we will continue to share the gospel and equip leader. Pray for the planting of healthy Arabic churches that would multiply in every city and state. Also please pray for the first Arab pastors, planters and future potential planters retreat 2022. Pray for the ministry among the Arab and Muslims in Cincinnati and northern Kentucky. Pray with us about the launching of an Arabic church in Columbus and Cleveland.

Participate

Pray for us. Send missions teams to work alongside us. Support us financially.
Many missionaries build a team to join their ministry in prayer, participation, and provision. These friends, family and churches support missionaries beyond the tithes and offerings given within the church plant.
