Youth for Christ Lebanon wants to reach every young person in Lebanon with Jesus. They do this through discipleship programs, a youth center, and outreach, including specific outreach programs for Syrian refugees. Their goal is to reach 6,000 youth with the love of Christ through all of their programs.
Our Heart Check funding will support:
Many outreach programs to youth in Lebanon, including programming in local schools, discipleship groups, and worship nights, as well as:
- Mental health services: schools rely on YFC to provide counseling services & raise awareness through targeted events
- Dare 2 Ask: interactive sessions to explore challenging worldview and cultural questions
- Summer camp: a fun and faith-based retreat where youth can make informed decisions to follow Christ and get connected with a local church.
Ramzi's Story:
When violence erupted in southern Lebanon, Ramzi and his family fled with nothing but the clothes on their backs. When they arrived in Beirut, the challenges continued, but then they found the Manara Youth Center. “Whenever we were at the Center, we forgot there was a war,” Ramzi said. “They treated us with respect and even provided meals.” Ramzi found employment at the Center using his skills as a stonemason. He and his family also attended relief programs and mental health groups for displaced families
