About Us

OUR IMPACT: Transforming Lives

At American FRRME, we believe in the transformative power of restoration—renewing faith, healing emotional wounds and rebuilding livelihoods. Our mission extends deeply into regions like Baghdad, the Plains of Nineveh in Iraq and throughout Jordan. Here, we bring hope, help and healing to displaced and marginalized Christian communities. Over the years, our Christ-centered approach has not only provided essential relief but also paved the way for long-term healing and rebuilding. We restore hope where it has been lost, reviving lives and communities torn apart by conflict and persecution and guiding them toward a brighter future.

Our commitment transcends immediate aid: we invest in sustainable programs that rebuild livelihoods, restore dignity and rekindle faith. By partnering with churches, individuals and like-minded organizations, we have transformed despair into hope and empowered thousands of Christians in the Middle East to reclaim their future. In a region still grappling with conflict, we stand as a beacon of light and love, demonstrating the enduring power of faith and resilience in the darkest times.
