CBM activities CBM activities Preaching work by Indian expatriates led to the first baptisms in Oman in 2002 and an ecclesia in Muscat. Most interest comes from the poor and unskilled. Employment for skilled expatriate workers in Oman is disappearing, while in other Gulf States Western workers are welcomed. The major missionary effort for 2007-08 will be to establish an ecclesia in Dubai, the most populated and most interested area. We have 4 missionary workers in the Gulf States.

Ecclesias (Oman) Muscat, Burami, Sohar (50 members in total); (Qatar) 8 members; (UAE) 4 members.
