Though major challenges and threats continue to loom over the Middle East, God sustains us and the church. Scripture makes clear time and time again that no one and nothing can stop His plans.

Throughout June, a whirlwind of political events unfolded in Lebanon and across the Middle East as conflict continued to rage. Yet despite these hardships, Thimar and our ministries were blessed with the opportunities to celebrate a series of accomplishments. Though troubles persist in our region, these moments remind and show us how God continues to work.
As a Christian organization in Lebanon, we take Jesus’ words to heart. At Thimar, much of our work focuses on children. Through our six ministries, we help care for children across Lebanon and the Middle East physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
In the face of ongoing conflict and tensions, we continue to put our trust in the Lord. He is the one who guides and sustains us. We hope that these articles reflect the hope we have in the One who is sovereign over all things.
In times of crisis, tension, and fear, this is how the church is called to respond. Our position is not a political one. It is one based on the love, teachings, and perfect example of Jesus.
These stories are snapshots of the gospel inspired work unfolding in the Middle East. They reflect a church, supported by the global church body and directed by God, that perseveres in the face of constant adversity.
There is assurance in God’s sovereignty, but still, we recognize the immense challenges that afflict the MENA region and the needs of tens of millions of people impacted by war, economic crisis, insecurity, political dysfunction, and many other challenges.
This is the story of how Christmas is being kept today, not as an escape from reality, but as a lived conviction that the Savior was born, and that he is still with us.
When we choose to remain where God has planted us, we discover that hope is not a feeling. It is a person, Jesus, who is still present, still working, still bearing fruit in uncertain times.
