Reach out to the wounded

I found this on the web, and felt like I wanted to pass it on.

The following request comes from Tony Maalouf, Assistant Dean of the School of Evangelism and Missions, and Associate Professor of Missions at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Dear Praying Friends,

Below is a communique from our Lebanese brothers and sisters that are diligently working in the midst of a great human tragedy to make a difference for Christ. Currently they are taking care of more than 1000 refugees and displaced people in the name of Christ. They are using both the facilities of the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary and the Beirut Baptist School. Both of them are ministries with big SBC heritage and IMB involvement. Please do pray for these needs and if you or your churches are led to contribute toward easing the pain and suffering of Lebanese civilians for His sake, send contributions to the address below designated LSESD/Lebanon Relief Fund. Fuel, water, medication and all humanitarian aid are urgently needed in Lebanon now as all roads/bridges, airports and seaports are cut, and Lebanon is isolated from the rest of the world. The UN is struggling to channel supplies through risky humanitarian corridors. Please pray for an end to this tragic situation in the Middle East.

WATER Needed at ABTS

No sooner did we address the shortage of water supply at the Beirut Baptist School on Friday, this morning the artesian water well of the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary dried up (350m) and its pump broke down.

We now have one alternative: to directly dig on campus another artesian well at 450m depth. The estimated cost of this emergent need is US$23,000.- We urgently appeal to friends and partners to help us address this urgent need knowing that we have on campus around 125 adults and 100 children.

Tax-deductible contributions are mailed to:

Middle East Bible Outreach
