How You Can Help • Hope for the Hopeless

Posted on Nov 7, 2024 by Mandi Stem in General |

Nov '24

Lebanon’s situation is getting worse. Bombings continues, homes are destroyed, and families are fleeing for a safer place. Some people are sleeping on the streets, hungry with children crying. All the shelters are full. Our school now has 105+ people. We are serving them with a delightful heart. Our team ensures everyone is fed and has a place to sleep. This need is huge. Our goal is to provide:

Three Hot Meals a Day
Blankets
Mattresses
Cleaning Supplies
Water (drinking & hygiene)
Medicine
Personal Hygiene Products

With winter coming, we will need carpets and fuel to keep people warm. Please join in making a difference in Lebanon 🇱🇧. Even a small donation makes a big difference. ShiningHopeInternational.org/DONATE

“Our team is safe. We are ministering to displaced Lebanese who have driven hours from southern Lebanon to safe areas in the Bekaa Valley. The war continues with bombing day and night. We can hear the sounds, but we are safe. Please help us to help the hopeless — people who have become refugees in their own country who left with only the clothes on their backs. Shining Hope International is providing food, medicines, blankets, and HOPE. Thank you for your prayers and any support.”

— Pastor Tony & Souzan

GOAL: Planting Churhces

Posted on Jul 4, 2024 by Mandi Stem in General |

Jul '24

One of our goals is to PLANT LOCAL CHURCHES with mature leaders and elders for a new generation and a SCHOOL to train children to be productive citizens of the community. By investing in small groups of all ages and partnering with local government and churches, we will become a part of the community and contribute to the growth of God’s kingdom.

Our hope is to PLANT A HOUSE CHURCH IN EVERY VILLAGE IN THE BEKKA VALLEY (Lebanon) within the next 5 years. Shining Hope International has implemented a church planting program that stands for gifts, grow, and glory. This church planting program depends on seasoned pastors training new pastors to provide the essentials on how to maintain a healthy church, so we can serve our Master in the most righteous way possible. After all, that is what we are called for.

Please consider giving to help us reach all lost people with HOPE.
