Call to Pray for Lebanon, A Country of Compassion with a Huge Opportunity

Lebanon has taken in about as many refugees from Syria and the conflict there as there are Lebanese themselves. What a hospitable and kind nation! Let’s pray with these requests sent from one of the intercessors there:

Pray for Lebanon. Here Christians enjoy the freedom to worship, evangelize and express their faith though Lebanon has a small area in the Middle East, and that is what makes Lebanon special. That's why many Christians and non Christians from the neighboring regions are seeking refuge in our small land, including those from non-Christian background. 

We always thought that this is okay despite the differences between us as Christians and them until the war began. 2.5 million refugees came to Lebanon seeking shelter and help from Syria, Iraq and those long-time Palestinians. Now we began to realize the important role Lebanon can offer. However, the problem is that there is not a united CHURCH strategy to guide them and lead them to hear the Good News of salvation, though mainly they come to escape the death and insecure areas where they used to live. If we manage to share the Gospel with a coordinated strategy, there will be a major spiritual  revival here in Lebanon and through out the Middle East, which we lack now. Every church does whatever they want. Please pray for wisdom and vision for the leadership of the CHURCH. 

  • Pray for real revival in Lebanon and the Middle East. May the spirit of the Lord move over and give deep and real repentance to the elected people to accept Jesus Christ.
  • Pray that the Lord raise a new generation of dedicated faithful leaders and pastors to be equipped for the ministry.
  • Pray that Christ’s church moves out in planting new churches in all the region. And those from the underground church be strengthened in the faith.

Pray for the believers to be a blessing to others, especially the refugees. As it happened in the first century, the people of God scattered because of the persecution, but they reached out with the gospel to others. Now close to two million refugee people are in Lebanon because of the war in their country, we pray that the Lord give wisdom and faithfulness to the church in Lebanon to reach out to the refugees and be a blessing to them.
