5.6 million Syrian refugees left their homeland, seeking safety elsewhere. Many of them fled to Lebanon. World Vision works with local Christian churches to meet the needs of these refugees for food, supplies and learning centers for the children. They offer hospitality, acceptance and friendship.
World Vision’s Spring 2019 print magazine features Miled, pastor of one of these congregations:
“Here in Lebanon, Muslims come to us, and we don’t hesitate to help them. As a church, you can’t build walls around you. You have to reach out to the community.”
Let us pray for these churches and their partners in ministry:
Lord, we praise you for this on-the-ground ministry of love. Provide the resources (financial and emotional) to meet the overwhelming needs. We pray for peace in Syria, and the refugees return to their homes. Fill our hearts with the same hospitality and love.
