About Our main Partner

The National Evangelical Synod of Syria and Lebanon

The Synod supports 40 congregations and their ministries in Syria and Lebanon, and while much of its focus is on developing educational institutions, there is a growing need to support ministries that bring relief and hope. This support allows the Synod to assist congregations whose families are struggling to afford the basics of food, shelter, and utilities.

Upon the collapse of the Assad regime and the institution of new political leadership, the Church in Syria now faces an uncertain future concerning religious tolerance and freedom. Families continue to struggle due to the high cost of living, unpaid wages, and an inadequate infrastructure.

In Lebanon, people continue to suffer under a collapsed economy, which makes daily necessities unaffordable. In addition, threats and attacks from Israel, particularly in South Lebanon, have displaced families and led to the closing of churches and schools.

The Impact

When you partner with us, you stand alongside faithful believers serving on the front lines of suffering. Together, we can strengthen local churches, sustain hope, and ensure that Christ’s love continues to shine in some of the hardest places.

The opportunity

The Outreach Foundation is seeking gifts to support the mission and ministry of the Syria/Lebanon Church Partnership. All gifts of any size are welcomed to support our Presbyterian family of faith in Syria and Lebanon during this difficult time.
