Greetings from the Land of Cedar to our dear friends and families. We hope you are “flourishing like a palm tree and growing like the cedar of Lebanon.” (Psalm 92:12)
I am Emad Botros. I serve as a Global Field Staff, teaching here at the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary in Beirut with Almess, my wife, who is serving as a Tutor in the Certificate Program in the same Seminary.
Our family is safe and sound after the earthquake we felt here in Lebanon. Of course, nothing compared to what the Syrians and Turkish people experienced. For us, it has been a hard week, trying to cope with another disaster across the border. Our hearts are heavy! The question we ask: How long must we take counsel in our soul and have sorrow in our heart all day? (Psalms 13:2).
Hello, our dear friends, I am Emad Botros, a global field staff serving with CBM in Lebanon. We really appreciate your prayers, and we always count on them. Let me share with you a few prayer requests related to CBM work here in Lebanon and in the Region:
The True Vine learning center and the Fayda ITS learning center provide displaced children who are unable to access Lebanese education with the opportunity to learn basic subjects, life skills and gain psychosocial support. Sustain this project with financial contributions and prayer.
CBM’s partner, the Lebanese Society for Educational and Social Development (LSESD), seeks to build bridges between communities. Each of their ministries offers a unique opportunity to build relationships, share the gospel and demonstrate the reality of the Kingdom of God. Support this project with financial contributions and prayer.
Lebanon has the highest per capita population of refugees in the world, which continues to put an enormous strain on social services, infrastructure and employment. While active conflict in Syria has decreased, there is pressure on displaced Syrians to return home, though many are not yet able to safely and voluntarily do so.
