Beirut Compassion Fund - December 2020 Update
In the aftermath of the August 4 explosion at the port of Beirut, your generous gifts have helped our partners to, literally, put things back together again in their places of learning like the Near East School of Theology (seminary training Presbyterian pastors), Haigazian University (Armenian Evangelical), Blessed School (for autistic children) and Philemon Preschool (for low-income kids). Repairs were made in the church sanctuaries of Rabieh Church (Presbyterian) and the National Evangelical Church (Presbyterian/Congregational), within sight of the port. Grants to ministries that serve refugees (Our Lady Dispensary and Together for the Family) provided a lifeline for those who were already living “on the edge.”
And for our major partner, the National Evangelical Synod of Syria and Lebanon, the disaster provided an opportunity to look outward and come alongside families, in Christ’s name, whose homes and lives were most severely impacted because of their proximity to the explosion. Here is a glimpse into that redemptive ministry…
Grace and peace,
