- Donations for CBM’s Ministries in Lebanon
- In the past year, our church’s Prayer Group has been praying for CBM’s Partners in Mission around the world. One of them is Joe Bridi and his team, doing ministry in Lebanon. The needs are wide-spread, but we can help.
- For example, With $50, we can give the gift of going to summer camp for refugee children and youth who are terrorized by war and violence and displacement; with $500, we can give scholarships to enable pastors/evangelists/skilled Christian lay leaders receive needed training at the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary located in Lebanon.
- We are collecting donations as a church this Christmas and will send what we have collected through CBM’s Hopeful Gifts: “Where Most Needed” program this Christmas. CBM will then match our gift, dollar for dollar.
- The last day to send in this donation is Dec. 4th (2nd Sunday of Advent).
- NOTE: Use a regular church offering envelope. (mark in the “Other” field”: CBM Hopeful Gifts WMN)
