Provide the greatest impact possible by giving where it is most needed.
Lebanon continues to face multiple converging crises—severe financial instability, increasing food prices due to the war in Ukraine, COVID-19, and the lingering impact of the August 4, 2020, Beirut port explosion—all of which have come on top of the Syrian refugee crisis and have placed the people of Lebanon in a vulnerable state of drastic change and insecurity.
CBM is supporting the work of Arab Baptist Theological Seminary to equip leaders who will proclaim the gospel and serve in a complex, sometimes hostile, context. ABTS has also provided support for people who are still struggling after the explosion, food distribution, and trauma counselling for people in need. Local church leaders, many trained at ABTS, are addressing the Syrian refugee relief efforts. CBM is also supporting our local Lebanese partners as they provide social services, healthcare and distribute food and other essential items.
Raised funds will support the work of ABTS in equipping leaders and resourcing communities in need during all this turmoil.
Funding will support local churches with identified areas of need, such as food supplies, mattresses, blankets, shelter, hygiene supplies, masks and psychosocial support for both refugees and locals. This is such a broad crisis that resources will be needed to help in almost every possible way.
The Church has an integral role to play in the transformation of communities through the good news of Jesus. Well-equipped leadership is key to making this a reality, and so is resourcing local ministry. With more funds raised, more leaders can be equipped, and more resources can meet needs. By helping to raise funds you can make a difference in Lebanon.
