The church celebrates Holy Communion every Fridayafternoon for the Urdu speaking community.

A spokesperson for the church said; "This new Anglican congregation is growing and we are blessed to share in fellowship with the Nepalis, Punjabis, and Pakistanis living in the area.

"St Luke, RAK is grateful to Revd Daniel, his family, and the Labour Camp Ministry hosted at St Martin's Sharjah for supporting the people of Ras al Khaimah. All over this land, the Spirit is moving."

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
