Heather Mercer has served among Muslims since 1998. For more
than ten years, she has served in Iraq and Afghanistan ministering to
women in crisis and launching various community-based educational and
professional training programs. In 2001, Heather and her teammates were
captured by the Taliban for sharing the Gospel in the strict Islamic
state, tried for a capital crime, and miraculously released through the
prayers of the saints and the bravery of the United States Special
Forces.
Her story can be read in the books Prisoners of Hope and Kabul 24, or
seen in the documentary Kabul 24. Since 2003, Heather’s attention has
been drawn to the Kurdish region of Iraq where she has launched several
initiatives focused on loving and serving Muslims. Freedom Center, a
holistic outreached-based community center, is underway and looking
towards completion in 2012.
Heather received her BA from Baylor University and is currently studying
a dual Master’s degree in Business Administration and Global Leadership
from Dallas Baptist University. Heather’s primary passion is to see
Jesus worshipped among the nations and to mobilize the Body of Christ to
pursue God’s heart for Muslims. Heather travels around the country and
speaks at missions and church conferences. She married Mohanad Al
Khoury, an Iraqi Christian, in 2010 and currently they split their time
living between Texas and the Middle East.
