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.

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
