LEBANON

Terry and Pastor Bob have just returned from a pioneer trip to Lebanon to see the needs of the people and how we might be able to minister to them.  With 4 million refugees living in the midst of 4 million Lebanese, the diversity of people groups is great.  They were able to visit some refugee areas where families live in challenging circumstances.


They found and met many adults and children living in extreme poverty.  A place needing love and hope in an area of the world where most are found hopeless.


These young ladies work the fields for sparse wages that often comes with abuse.


They connected with two different ministries in the midst of the poor and refugees. Terry was able to minister a message entitled "The Chief Corner Stone" in the midst of those who have rejected Him.


The Cedars of Lebanon with their biblical historic value were majestic.


This Cedar Tree was 4,000 years old.


There is a great need in Lebanon and doing God's Will is important to us as we plan for the future.  

Isaiah 29:17-18 "It is not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall regarded as a forest.  In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see. "
