In difficult times, we face difficult questions. Written by staff at Embrace’s partner MERATH, this blog discusses what it’s like to live with the threat of war in Lebanon and wrestles with why God is allowing the bloodshed and destruction to persist. It also gives some specific prayer points so that you can join in interceding for the region.

Against the backdrop of a crippling economic crisis and a gaping political vacuum, tensions are growing in Lebanon between Syrian refugees and host communities. With a marked rise in intolerance and even violence, one church in the Beqaa Valley in eastern Lebanon is going against the grain. As part of a network of local churches supported by Embrace’s partner, MERATH, this particular church is choosing to walk in the paths of love.

In the final webinar of our series, Dr Martin Accad and Revd Dr Rima Nasrallah painted a vivid picture the extreme difficulties facing Christians (and most of the population) in Lebanon today.
