In this inspiring episode of Journey of Hope, we take you inside Heart for Lebanon’s recent Investor Briefing, where leaders share powerful updates on how God is moving across Lebanon. Hosted by John Frick, Senior Director of Development, this special gathering features May-Lee Melki, Managing Director, and Elio Constantine, Managing Director of Church Relations, as they unpack the latest ministry milestones, stories of transformation, and a bold vision for the future.
From the groundbreaking of the new Hope Ministry Center and Prayer House in Southern Lebanon to the rapid growth of the Missional Leadership Program and a powerful wave of baptisms, this episode paints a vivid picture of faith in action and communities being transformed through prayer and discipleship.
Key Highlights:
- The Power of Prayer and Foundation of Hope: Heart for Lebanon’s newest property in South Lebanon will soon host a 74,000 sq. ft. ministry campus—beginning with the construction of a Prayer House on the highest point of the land, symbolizing that all ministry begins with prayer.
- Growing the Church in Lebanon: The Hope Evangelical Church continues to thrive in both Zahle and the South, with over 50 baptisms taking place this October and new ministries, like a women’s fellowship, set to launch in 2026.
- Missional Leadership Expansion: The three-year Missional Leadership Program which equips believers to lead home Bible studies and serve their own communities is multiplying. What began with 20 students now includes 50 active leaders, with plans to reach 250 by 2026, sparking small discipleship groups across the country.
- Rebuilding and Restoring Communities: Following years of conflict in the South, Heart for Lebanon is helping families rebuild through targeted home rehabilitation; restoring rooms, kitchens, and essential living spaces for hundreds of vulnerable families.
- Empowering Vulnerable Girls: A 2025 ministry emphasis focused on protecting and discipling young girls at risk of early marriage and gender-based violence has exceeded expectations, providing Christian counseling, education, and health awareness programs. Plans are underway to expand this initiative to all young women under Heart for Lebanon’s care in 2026.
A Call to Action: Heart for Lebanon’s mission is clear: to make disciples of Jesus Christ and see lives transformed through faith and relationship.
Join us in prayer for: Continued wisdom and protection for the team and the families they serve. God’s provision as the ministry expands its capacity and impact. The growth of new leaders who will carry the Gospel into unreached villages.
