Salem Alliance Church will be launching a refreshed website starting Monday. All content from the current site will be migrated over, though it may look a bit different in the new layout. These updates were made to improve ease of use and better organize church information. We encourage you to take some time this week to explore the new site.
If you have any questions or can’t find what you’re looking for, please reach out to our communications coordinator, Elise Myers.

News From Greyson
Greyson is a Missio student studying abroad
This past month has looked a little different, more relational and less structured, as English classes are paused during Ramadan. It has created space to spend more intentional, unhurried time with local friends and to invest more deeply in those relationships. I have been meeting regularly with one young man who is eager to improve his conversational English. We split our time between English and Arabic, which has been just as valuable for my own language growth.
As my time here continues, I want to be intentional with the people God has placed along this journey and make the most of every opportunity to connect.
After Ramadan, I will begin my final English term at the center before returning for graduation. That marks my last term of college after six full years, including summer classes along the way. Thank you for your encouragement as I aim to finish strong!
I am looking forward to sharing more as things begin to unfold and the Lord introduces me to those whom he is actively calling back to himself.
Prayers
Health—That I would remain holistically healthy throughout my time here.
Relationships—That formidable relationships would grow among the team and locals.
Language—That my mind will grab a hold of the local dialect.
Transition—That my identity in Christ will be unwavering while adjusting to a new culture and region.
Keep up with your Salem Alliance Church staff!
Welcome Albert Campos!
We’re excited to welcome Albert to the team as he steps into the role of our new Baraka Training & Development Coordinator. Read below to learn more about Albert and join us in welcoming him to staff.
Albert Campos has lived in Salem with his wife, Joy, and their three children since 2008, when they began attending Salem Alliance Church. In 2014, they opened Better Than Mama’s restaurant, where they have faithfully served both their customers and staff while building meaningful relationships along the way.
Over the years, Albert has developed a passion for mentoring others and helping people grow. Through this experience—and alongside Joy’s work with Baraka Workforce—he has found a natural connection in supporting new neighbors as they acclimate to life in the U.S.
Albert is excited to work with interns, helping them navigate life in America and experience what it means to live in a community rooted in peace with God.
