As the year comes to a close and we celebrate the birth of Christ, this episode centers on the power of prayer and the real lives behind the ministry. With Heart for Lebanon’s team, we share firsthand stories of struggle, resilience, healing, and hope—each one representing a life being touched by the gospel. Throughout the episode, you will hear stories from the field, including: Bayan, a young girl discovering her worth in God Salma and Fadia, a mother and daughter walking through illness, responsibility, and faith Hiba, a young woman carrying the weight of her family while finding refuge in Christ Taim, a boy born with a disability whose hope is anchored in education and healing Dalal, a woman experiencing freedom, care, and renewed dignity through Christ Mustafa, a believer who chose to follow Jesus despite persecution and rejection After each story, members of our team and prayer partners lift these individuals before the Lord, creating space for communal prayer, reflection, and dependence on God. This episode also offers a glimpse into the broader impact of Heart for Lebanon’s ministry—reminding us that behind every statistic is a name, and behind every name is a soul deeply loved by God. As you listen, we invite you to pause, pray, and remember that prayer is not secondary to the work—it is the work. May this episode encourage you to intercede boldly, give thanks faithfully, and continue walking alongside those moving from despair to hope in Christ. A Word from Elio: Thank you to our listeners, prayer partners, and supporters.
