Her Choice is a Gospel-centered organization that offers women’s Bible studies and counseling to guide them in making the right decision in a difficult time.
The mission of Mission Possible is to be “equipping the next generation of Christ-centered leaders.” MP started doing this in 1969 through just a few men, to now having seven Christian schools (pre-K through 13th grade), a church at each school, discipleship classes, a Bible Training Center, and a Vocational School all in Haiti alone. On the Dominican side of the island, they have a thriving Spanish church and Haitian Creole church, as well as a modern educational facility in Barahona serving students in pre-K through 6th grade. Because of God’s grace, they are able to educate and equip Haitian and Dominican leaders by increasing the focus on evangelism and discipleship, improving the school programs and student health, and upgrading facilities.
The Beirut GROW Preschool is a ministry operated by the Resurrection Church of Beirut which exists to provide care and Christian education for at-risk Lebanese, foreign workers and refugee children. This is no ordinary preschool. The preschool provides a service to struggling families with no options for child care. It not only provides an excellent developmental environment for children ages 1-5, it also provides a platform for counseling, educating and meeting the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of desperate families in Beirut.

Lebanon is a refuge for Middle Eastern people groups persecuted in or driven from their home countries. The Resurrection Church of Beirut recognizes this huge need and has a well-established program to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of displaced Syrians, Iraqis, Kurds and more. These people have lost their homes, are often destitute and are not legally recognized in Lebanon, restricting access to public care and education. Meeting the felt needs of these refugees is a pathway to meeting the heart needs of people who are without the hope of Christ. We have received a letter from Resurrection Church Beirut sharing the latest on the struggle in Lebanon. You can read it here.
