Revival in the Middle East Continues!!!

From Naharnet – Lebanese News:
Syrian refugees will constitute more than a third of Lebanon’s population by the end of 2014, the United Nations said Thursday, warning of an increasingly unsustainable burden to the economy.

A report released in Beirut said the number of refugees will be 1.5 million by December, or a third of the country’s population of four million.

Some 53 percent of the Syrian refugees in the country are children, the report added.

“We no longer have the capacity to carry this burden alone… We have crossed all limits,” Social Affairs Minister Rashid Derbas said at a gathering of officials, ambassadors and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees representative, Ninette Kelley.

Lebanon currently hosts 1.1 million refugees, the highest number at 38 percent of Syrian refugees fleeing the war-torn country for other countries in the region.

The U.N. says the country needs $1.6 billion (1.2 billion euros) for 2014 to be able to cope with the refugee crisis, but that only 23 percent of this has been gathered.

“We are really facing critical and dire challenges,” the UNHCR’s Kelley said.

“With the current level of funding… will not meet the target that we set… (to have) over 172.000 children in school next year.”

She also warned that the UNHCR “will not be able to launch a polio vaccination campaign for all children in Lebanon under five”, should the necessary funding fail to materialize.

Kelley said 800,000 refugees will be unequipped to face winter, and 30,000 people including Lebanese will not have access to safe drinking water without the necessary financing.

“We need you to stand with us, we need you to stand with Lebanon to ensure that more funding is secured,” she said, addressing donor countries.

Also on Thursday, the United Nations launched a similar appeal in Jordan, where some 600,000 Syrians have sought refuge since war broke out in their homeland three years ago.

According to Central Bank of Lebanon statistics, the country faces a financial burden of $4.5 billion because of the refugee crisis.

In May, the International Monetary Fund said unemployment had doubled to 20 percent because of the refugee influx. It also warned growth was two percent lower than before the crisis.

Last December, the U.N. appealed for $6.5 billion for Syria war victims. It received $2.3 billion, and officials say the 2014 plan for the region has received just a quarter of the pledged funds.

God blessed us with powerful church services in Lebanon today with Book of Acts manifestation! As we believe Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever and what He did 2000 years ago is still doing it today!!

The Lord moved in a powerful way in both church services in Lebanon today! We’ve had several first time visitors; and while several came to God at the end of the service, the Holy Ghost fell and touched several of them! Two received the baptism as they did at the house of Cornelius in Acts 10 and and Acts 19, and started speaking in tongues as the spirit gave them the utterance!
Glory to God!!!

Beirut Bridge of Hope had another great day with children and their mothers at BBHope Center in Beirut! Several children who are not able to attend school during the week, were able to enjoy a day of teaching, singing and playing with each other!
The mothers also were able to spend time meeting each others, learning the Bible and later on spend quality time with their children doing crafts!
We thank all our volunteers who worked from their hearts and made this day so special!

A woman whom Jesus appeared to her twice in a dream and asked her to follow Him, professed her Christian faith and her desires to follow Christ and asked to be baptized in His Name in Lebanon today!
We baptized her in Jesus Name according to Matthews 28:19-20, Acts 2:38 and Acts 19:1-5. She was full of Joy “Unspaeakable” as she put on Christ in baptism (Galatians 3:27)! #MiddleEast #Revival

We were blessed to have visited several families in Beirut these last 2 days!
God’s opened a door for us to meet new people and to share the Gospel with them. Already three families are scheduled for pick up to church tomorrow! #MiddleEast #Revival

God blessed us with a wonderful church meeting in Beirut last night! We had 2 new families and one person got baptized in Jesus Name!

Beirut Bridge of Hope had another great event for mothers and children this past weekend!
We invited mothers of young children that typically have no schooling and no daycare. We began by allowing the mothers a little break. Our volunteers, Nadine and Jacob took the children into the sanctuary for worship and Bible study. They enjoyed singing and praising God! Meanwhile, our volunteers, Karina and Anwar, spoke to the mothers about overcoming their hardships and focusing on God. The chosen Bible verse was Matthew 6:26, “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?”
The ladies enjoyed their time of fellowship and afterwards joined their kids for coloring, crafts and chocolate crepes!

A first time visitor came to our Monday night prayer meeting in Beirut and was moved by the presence of God. After the meeting we gave him a Bible study and decided to be baptized in Jesus Name for the remission of his sins! Acts 22:16
