Greetings from Lebanon!
We are so grateful for your prayers, love, and continuous support. These past couple of months have been full of beautiful moments serving children, youth, and families across the Bekaa Valley and Beirut.
Bekaa Ministry
Outreach : 173 Kids Reached!
This month, we held a special outreach in Bar Elias, in the Beqaa Valley, at a shelter surrounded by two refugee camps. Around 173 children joined us for a joyful and blessed time together.
The program was amazing! We started with worship and dancing, played games with the children, watched a sketch, and shared a short message about the love of Jesus. It was such a beautiful opportunity to plant seeds of faith in the hearts of these kids. This outreach was done in collaboration with OCC (Operation Christmas Child).
We are now preparing for another outreach in Taanayel, Bekaa, for around 70 children. Please keep this event in your prayers!
Every Sunday, we continue hosting a special children’s program where kids learn through Old Testament stories and the lives of the prophets. The children are truly enjoying it and engaging so well.
Our weekly Kids’ Club continues with around 35 children attending regularly.
We also continue:
- Youth meetings for boys
- Sunday meetings
- Ladies’ meetings
- Clothes distribution
Discipleship & Family Ministry
More than 15 families are currently receiving weekly discipleship and Massira programs.
In addition, we are continuing the “Beyond the Box” program with 8 Lebanese families. We are thankful for the relationships being built and the spiritual growth happening through these gatherings.
Beirut
Bible Institute
The Bible Institute in Beirut is still going strong, and we are encouraged to see continued commitment and growth among the students.
Training & Leadership Development
Recently, we organized a Team Building, Stress Management, and Psychological First Aid training in collaboration with Clown Me In for youth leaders and Spring of Life teachers.
It was an enriching and encouraging time that equipped leaders and teachers with practical and emotional support tools for ministry.
Spring of Life
At Spring of Life, we have continued focusing on the children’s education while also giving teachers more freedom to lead creative activities and workshops with the kids.
The results have been truly amazing.
The teachers have been enjoying their time with the children (both SOL students and displaced) even more, often staying beyond working hours simply to spend time with them, create activities, and build deeper relationships. The positive impact has been evident both in the students and in the teachers themselves.
In collaboration with Clown Me In, we organized several creative workshops with the children, including puppet making, clay making, and planting activities. The kids had so much fun expressing themselves creatively, learning new skills, and simply enjoying being children in a loving and encouraging environment.
Looking Ahead: Sunday School Camp!
As we prepare for the coming months, we are hoping to organize a special Sunday School / Spring of Life camp for the children we serve from 2 to 4 July. Our desire is to provide them with a memorable time of learning, worship, fellowship, games, and personal growth in a safe and encouraging environment.
Many of these children come from challenging backgrounds, and opportunities like this camp can have a lasting impact on their lives and faith journey.
We would greatly appreciate your prayers and support as we plan this initiative. Any contribution toward helping make this camp possible would be a tremendous blessing to the children and families we serve so if you want any more details please reach out to us.
Thank you for partnering with us in bringing hope, joy, and the love of Christ to the next generation.
Life Kitchen Update
We are also excited to share a new development at Life Kitchen.
As evening activity has become increasingly slow, we have begun expanding our production efforts by preparing frozen meals that can be distributed to supermarkets and other points of sale. Our goal is to create a more sustainable source of income while also creating additional employment opportunities for members of our community.
To help make this vision a reality, we are seeking support to purchase a delivery truck valued at $7,500. This vehicle would allow us to transport products efficiently, expand our distribution network, and increase production capacity.
We believe this investment will not only help create more jobs but will also strengthen the long-term sustainability of the ministry by generating additional income that can be reinvested into our programs and outreach efforts.
Please pray with us as we take this important step forward and seek God’s provision for this project.
Ethiopian Church
We also wanted to share a special moment that we believe will encourage you. This weekend, our Ethiopian brothers and sisters gathered at the center for a three-day event that was truly refreshing and inspiring. It was a joy to witness so many devoted believers coming together in worship, prayer and fellowship.
The center was filled to capacity, creating a beautiful atmosphere of faith and encouragement.
We are grateful to be able to host gatherings like these and to witness lives being strengthened and encouraged.
Thank you again for standing with us, praying for us, and supporting the work God is doing here in Lebanon. Your partnership allows us to continue reaching children, youth, and families with the love and hope of Jesus.
With gratitude and prayers,
Said Dib
