MOre news from Gordon in Lebanon

We have been to the Lebanon/Palestine border and met congregations in the south. After the presentation on Islam, we heard a report on relief work of NESSL with 11,000,000 displaced Syrians (1/2 of population) with a 60% unemployment rate.  This work includes basics: nutrition, shelter, psychological support, limited medical assistance. The refugee education program has expanded to 6 locations. In 2016, there were 288 children in the program; in 2017, 634 participated.  Only 3 of the children are Christian.  NESSL is the only church offering this type of ministries; however, in two of the locations, they have a Baptist partner congregation. One Muslim mother, when asked why she let her children attend the program, said, "It is the first time we have been treated as people -  not numbers or enemies."  We are not trying to convert the children; we are sowing the Christian seeds of humanity.
