Brown
visited Zarqa, Jerash, Petra and the Baptism site. Addressing Jordanian
evangelicals during a meeting Monday at the Amman Baptist Church, he encouraged
them to partner with the worldwide Baptist community.
Brown
told local Jordanian Christian leaders that the Washington DC-based Baptist
World Alliance would be happy to partner with Jordanian churches on different
fronts.
“It
has been too long since we received a proposal from Jordan. We would like to
know what your biggest priorities, challenges, and areas of need are. We want
to help your leadership’s work in the aid field as well.”

practice their faith freely and safely thanks to the strong support Christians
have from the Royal Hashemite family.
