Launching a New Youth Bible Curriculum for Today’s World
Saturday, June 27 marked an important milestone for youth discipleship in Lebanon as Thimar-LSESD’s Dar Manhal al Hayat (DMAH) and Salt & Light ministries officially launched a new Youth Bible Curriculum, the fruit of nearly five years of development by author and Executive Director of the Lebanese Evangelical Society Toni Haddad.
How Salt & Light is supporting children displaced by war in Lebanon
For the past few months, Salt & Light has been supporting dozens of children displaced by the war in Lebanon. Through weekly programs that include worship, arts and crafts, games, and other activities, children find a sense of normalcy and safety amid the conflict.
Between War and Peace
Despite ceasefire agreements in Lebanon and the wider Middle East, fighting continues across the region. In the face of such hostilities and fear of renewed conflict, we continue to put our trust in the Lord. He is the one who guides and sustains us.
Faith, Education, and Hope in a Wounded Lebanon
After years of disruption, students and staff at Beirut Baptist School (BBS) had finally begun an academic year with a sense of stability. Little did we know that little more than a month later, war would erupt once again. When it did, BBS quickly shifted into relief work for both the school community and the surrounding neighborhoods while simultaneously supporting students, staff, and faculty as they navigated the impact of the war on their lives.
Churches pray for peace amid conflict and tension in the Middle East
Since late February, most of our posts have focused on the war in Lebanon, which has been, in many ways, a second front in the Middle East war. Though we continue to face challenges at home, we wanted to shed light on the stories of our partners and churches in the region and how they’ve been impacted by hostilities these past few months.
The difficult path before us
Here we are again. Another war engulfs Lebanon. But this one seems different. What is the church to do in this situation? How do we face the dark road before us? Within the Easter story, we find answers and hope.
How Thimar Church Partners Are Supporting People In Need
Since the first day of the Hezbollah-Israel war, Thimar’s church partners have been actively responding to the needs of their communities and neighbors. Not because it is easy. But because the church is called to be like the Good Samaritan. As believers saved and redeemed by Christ, we are called to showcase the kindheartedness and the hands of our Lord Jesus.
How Do We Survive the Storm?
As another war erupts on Lebanon, the hearts of Lebanese people are again filled with fear. The situation is difficult, but as we pray, Jesus reminds us of the very reason why we are called to be here.
