Jesus is moving powerfully in the Middle East. Muslims and Jews are coming to faith in Christ now more than ever.
Tom Doyle fell in love with the Middle East on his first Biblical tour to Israel. In 1999, he became an official tour guide for the state of Israel and along the way, developed a passion for ministering to the Israeli people, both Jews and Arabs alike. In 2001, right before the September 11th attacks, Tom left the pastorate and he and his wife JoAnn began working full time in the Middle East: Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel. As President of Uncharted Ministries, Tom, and the team seek to Reach the Unreached and Stand with the Persecuted.
A gifted storyteller, Tom brings God’s astounding work in these nations to light. Whether in his books, on television (FOX News, Glenn Beck, The 700 Club, 100 Huntley Street), on the radio (Focus on the Family, Janet Parshall Live, American Family Radio), at conferences (Epicenter, Passion, Open Doors, Voice of the Martyrs, Calvary Chapel, The Crescent Project), or in local churches, Tom shares fresh, compelling, and thought-provoking reports of God’s activity. In 2020, Uncharted launched I Found the Truth, a powerful video ministry which shares stories of former Muslims who now love Jesus passionately. Tom and JoAnn have six children and seventeen grandchildren.

Tom and JoAnn co-authored Women Who Risk: Secret Agents for Jesus in the Muslim World, which explores the incredible stories of Muslim women who have been transformed by the love of Christ and have become an unstoppable force in the Middle East. Tom is also author of Dreams and Visions: Is Jesus Awakening the Muslim World?, a remarkable collection of real-life stories of how God is supernaturally drawing Muslims to Himself. Killing Christians: Living the Faith Where It’s Not Safe to Believe takes readers to secret meetings, torture rooms, grim prisons, and even the executions of those who choose faith over survival in countries hostile to the Gospel of Christ. He is also author of Standing in the Fire: Courageous Christians Living in Frightening Times, a finalist for the 2018 ECPA book of the year, telling the triumphant stories of Middle Eastern heroes of faith who feared God more than terrorist groups like ISIS.
