Finding Hope in Crisis: Youth for Christ Lebanon | Maher El Hajj’s Testimony

What would you do if a tragedy at your school forced you to ask whether life has any meaning at all?

Hear Maher El Hajj share how a classmate’s suicide launched his search for purpose—through sheikhs, priests, and new age ideas—until a Youth for Christ camp introduced him to Christians who listened, opened the Bible with him, and pointed to Jesus’ promise of “abundant life” (John 10:10).

You’ll see how that decision at 16 led to 30 years of ministry and eventually becoming National Director of Youth for Christ in Lebanon, and why today’s economic collapse, political corruption, war, and the needs of Lebanese and Syrian refugees are opening hearts to questions about real hope, joy, and peace.

Watch how YFC has expanded from one center to four and why Maher is eager to connect with the global church through Lausanne.
