Pray for the people of Beirut to encounter lasting hope in Jesus amid ongoing political and economic turmoil.
Join believers around the world asking God to reach Beirut with the Gospel.
I live in Beirut, one of the world’s oldest cities — a place where history clings to every stone and the sea breeze carries both beauty and sorrow. Once, Beirut was called “the Paris of the East,” a hub of intellect, art, and culture. But decades of war, corruption, and tragedy have left deep scars on our city. We are a people trying to rebuild — again and again — from the ruins.
In the past decade, over 1.5 million Syrian refugees have poured into Lebanon, straining an already fragile economy. Then came the pandemic, the explosion of August 4, 2020, and a financial collapse that turned savings into dust. Many here call Lebanon a “failed state.” Yet even as systems crumble, I see something unshakable: the Church rising in love.
Everywhere, believers are feeding the hungry, comforting the broken, and praying for renewal. In the middle of despair, the light of Jesus shines through compassion and faith. We are not many, but we are steadfast — carrying hope into hospitals, refugee camps, and ruined streets. I believe that what the enemy meant for destruction, God will use for redemption. And one day, Beirut will not only be rebuilt in stone, but in spirit — a city known for the radiance of Christ’s love.
