Romsey Abbey will host a powerful new exhibition this June.

The Middle East Prayer Experience (MEPE) will run until June 23, offering visitors a walk-through journey of faith and resilience through the eyes of Christians in the Middle East and North Africa.

The immersive exhibition will feature 25 photo displays, personal testimonies, and guided prayer points.

Dr Terry Ascott, founder of SAT-7, the Christian broadcaster behind the project, said: "This is more than an exhibition – it’s a journey of empathy, understanding and connection with people who are often overlooked.

The exhibition is inspired by SAT-7’s 40 Days of Prayer resource, which has helped many people connect more deeply with the lives and needs of Christians in the region.

The MEPE is free to attend and self-guided, making it accessible to individuals, families, and church groups.

SAT-7 is a Christian satellite broadcaster that shares stories of faith and perseverance from across the Middle East and North Africa.

The exhibition covers a broad geographical area, including countries from Morocco to Tajikistan, and tells stories of hope, joy, and unwavering faith.

Julia Bicknell, a former BBC journalist, SAT-7 trustee, and former Romsey resident, said: "These stories are powerful, and they deserve to be heard.

"MEPE gives a voice to those living their faith under pressure – and invites us to respond in prayer and solidarity."
