GAW Special Offering
Escalating conflict across the Middle East has precipitated yet another humanitarian crisis. On September 23, 2024, Israeli forces launched an extensive attack on Hezbollah military assets in Lebanon, resulting in the death of hundreds of Lebanese civilians, including 50 children, and injuring another 2,000 people. More than 90,000 men, women and children have been driven from their homes in southern Lebanon, some of whom are Christians. This is adding to the millions already displaced in the region. The violence continues to affect communities on both sides of the border, causing widespread humanitarian concerns.
While dealing with immense challenges, our ministry partners are serving those in need by opening their homes, churches and facilities to provide shelter, along with relief, medicines, counseling and pastoral care. This year, our special GAW offering will support Cedar Home, World Relief, and the Resurrection Church Beirut, where our partners, Karim and Rita Anayssi worship and serve.
A partner writes, “Your prayers and support are a lifeline to us. We are in a perfect storm that might destroy our country completely, but that could also transform our country for Jesus. Our churches are in emergency mode, trying to respond and help.”
You can give our website or through our app. Simply select your home campus above and then select "GAW" from the "Fund" field on the giving page. If you write a check, please note “GAW” in the memo line or on the envelope. Contributions can also be made during the service or placed in the offering boxes in the lobby. This special offering is above and beyond your regular support of Grace Chapel. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
