Praises
- Lebanon has taken in the largest number of refugees per capita in the world. Please join us in thanking God for the many who are welcoming and serving those in need. We also give thanks for the leadership of Charles Costa who was installed as the President of European Baptist Federation (EBF) in September 2025, the first person from the Middle East to serve in this role.
- Join us in thanking God for the faithful leadership of former BWA Vice President Nabil Costa and current BWA Vice President Lina Sawan. We also give thanks for the training and equipping ministry of ABTS and the practical care provided by Lebanese Society for Educational and Societal Development (LSESD) as they have responded faithfully to the COVID-19 pandemic, societal unrest, and the Beirut explosion.
Prayer Requests
- Join us in prayer for political and economic stability throughout the country. We also pray for the continued ministry of LSESD and join them in celebrating 25 years of impact this year.
- The faithfulness of the Church in Lebanon makes it a unique and strategic center for Christian ministry throughout the entire Middle East. Pray for the Lord’s continued grace, protection, and provision for Baptist ministry leaders across the country as they seek to make an eternal impact in this region of the world.
