The city of Tyre is located in the south of Lebanon and is one of the oldest cities mentioned in the Bible. Jesus himself visited this place in the past. Today, the city is in need of the Gospel message. Following the civil war that began in Syria in 2014, as well as the capture of Mosul in Iraq by extremists, about 2 million refugees crossed the border into Lebanon, forming large tent cities. The local church in Tyre has been providing great assistance to Syrian, Kurdish and Iraqi refugees to this day.
Last year, Pastor Mohammed Yamut died under unclear circumstances. He was always open and not afraid of anyone, although he had received threats for his activities. Now, the church in the city of Tyre needs even more help. After Mohammed’s death last year, God called us to move here with our family. God gave me a wonderful wife and three children. Our mission in Lebanon is to teach music to children, provide pastoral care, preach, work with children and youth, and help the church with all its needs.
In the few months of our ministry, we have seen how the church has been encouraged after Mohammed’s death. Our desire and prayers are aimed today at bringing much blessing and fruit to the field of the Lord through our presence and ministry in Lebanon.
Dear brothers and sisters, I am reaching out to you with a special need. First and foremost, I ask you to become partners in this work in Lebanon. We also greatly need your prayer and material support.
