Lebanon: The Gateway of the Gospel in the Middle East
What does hope look like for Lebanese teenagers growing up through economic collapse, displacement, and war?
In this episode of God on the Move, Maher El Hajj shares how Youth for Christ Lebanon creates safe, welcoming youth centers where traumatized 12–18-year-olds find community, counseling, tutoring, and the gospel shared through relational discipleship. Hear how YFC partners with local churches and navigates ministry in a majority-Muslim context. Maher recounts the story of a displaced 15-year-old whose grief and depression gave way to healing and joy as the center became his “second home,” and explains why many Muslim families still send their children because they see real transformation. He closes with a plea not to forget Middle Eastern Christians and specific prayer requests for perseverance, wisdom, peace, and support.
