World Evangelical Alliance - From Nazareth to the World: Botrus Mansour Leads 650 Million Evangelicals

Listen Today! In this episode of evangelical 360, Brian Stiller sits down with Botrus Mansour, our secretary general and a Palestinian evangelical lawyer whose life has been shaped by faith, culture, and the call to bridge divides.

Mansour shares his journey from local ministry in Israel to leading a global fellowship representing over 650 million evangelicals. He reflects on: • Evangelical identity rooted in Jesus, grace, and Scripture • The WEA’s role as a global convening space, not a hierarchy • Advocacy for religious freedom while remaining non-partisan From Nazareth, Mansour reminds us that global leadership can grow from connection and collaboration, not tradition or power — guiding a worldwide evangelical family to walk together across difference.
