The conflict in Lebanon and Syria has led to a significant humanitarian crisis, with more than 1.3 million displaced Lebanese and over 1.5 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon. Local believers have heroically stepped up to provide spiritual care, food, and emotional support, but the need remains overwhelming. These churches, despite facing immense struggles, continue to serve their communities with love and compassion, reaching out to displaced families from both Lebanon and Syria.
Team Expansion’s workers have witnessed these efforts firsthand and are committed to partnering with these local ministries to provide both immediate relief and long-term solutions through trauma training and Disciple-Making Movements (DMM). Our desire is to come alongside these heroic efforts to amplify the impact—helping provide the essential resources to meet the basic needs of displaced families, while also creating the framework for ongoing trauma healing and equipping believers to make disciples who make disciples.
$15,000 for the Hayat Center
The believers in Lebanon are united in their efforts to seek and serve the lost. The Hayat Center is one of the areas where life-giving hope is available for local and refugee participants. The Hyatt Center provides discipleship alongside economic empowerment and vocational skills training for at-risk teens and women. They have countless stories of women who felt alone and hopeless, but are now living in community and joy.
In addition to their daily classes at their location, the team there is also packing everything they need to teach the women in a distant refugee camp three times each week. We’re committed to helping them raise the $15,000 needed to refurbish a shipping container into a working training classroom at the camp. They already have the trainers and equipment, they just need to build the facility!
