Christian International Fellowship in Jubail?
How many western expats are there in Jubail? Is there any kind of Christian International Fellowship in Jubail?

Saudi Arabia restricts all other religions and it's not unknown for Christians to be arrested and lashed for doing things like meeting for Christian fellowships...you might want to re-think a Saudi posting if you have strong Christian convictions.

Re: Christian International Fellowship in Jubail?
Thanks! I am familiar with the atmosphere in KSA re: religion. In doing some research i have found a couple of forum posts or articles that talked about some special circumstances and locations where the government had allowed westerners to have their own worship http://www.forerunner.com/forerunner...ress_of_t.html
I was hoping that someone here could give me some insight into Jubail.
and no....I was not going to ask you where I could buy a new Yamaka for my friend's barmitzvah

Status of Christianity in KSA is illustrated in this 5-years old picture of Cristian church in Jeddah:

You can always drive the 1.5 hours to Bahrain. St Christophers Anglican cathedral has a service at 09.30 on a Friday. Slap bang in the middle of Manama. Little mixed culturally but large proportion of Europeans. Even a couple of left footers turn up there
