HOW CAN I PRAY FOR THEM?

  • Pray for the extreme economic, power grid and food crises being endured currently by those living in Lebanon, and that food, water and gasoline would be available.
  • Pray for the Syrian families living in the refugee camps that they will come to know Christ as a result of their forced migration.
  • Pray that God would be glorified in the new Christ-centered war trauma therapy ministry in the refugee camps.
  • Pray for the young girls in the camps who are responsible for many small children while their mothers go to work daily in the field.
  • Pray for the numerous small group discovery bible studies they host weekly for Muslim background believers.
  • Pray that the leaders will lead well and every member grows in their relationship with God.
