To follow up on last month’s conversation with Phil from World Vision and Alan from Global Children’s Forum, we interviewed Maher Hajj from Youth for Christ Lebanon to hear how a partnership with World Vision enabled them to establish a youth centre for Syrian refugees.
Just after we finished the conversation, Maher shared about the bombing in Beirut. I do not know what the situation will be when you read this email, but please pray for the protection of our team there and for peace in the region. Despite the terrible atrocities in our world, the Kingdom of God is still expanding, and the light continues to shine in the darkness and the darkness will not overcome it (John 1:5).
Also, this is a reminder that the Weekend of Prayer and Action Against Hunger is from October 11th to the 13th. We encourage you to engage in this weekend of prayer and action in some way, even partnering with others in your area. We would love to hear stories that come out of the weekend. Please email [email protected] with those stories.
May you know the peace and presence of our Lord wherever you are. |
