WAM is an annual conference sponsored by Lighthouse Arab World for artists from North Africa and the Middle East from Muslim backgrounds and open to all Christians whatever their backgrounds, with the purpose of affirming, inspiring and encouraging the heart, mind and activity of Christian artists.

As a Christian media company operating in the Arab World, a majorly Muslim environment, we have seen first-hand how art can open doors for the gospel and for the advancement of the Kingdom of God, doors to human hearts that are often closed and resistant to traditional methods of ministry. Sadly, like so many of God’s good gifts, art has been twisted and used as a tool for the kingdom of darkness rather that the kingdom of light. Christian artists are often misunderstood, labeled as worldly, and ostracized from their Christian brothers and sisters. Our task at Lighthouse is to turn this around, helping artists to transform souls and to glorify God using our Art.
