Church Story
After I received a confirmation for my call in the summer of 1996 I left my country to finish my theological studies in Germany. I joined the European Nazarene Bible College and graduated after 2 years. I came back to Lebanon in the summer of 1998 with a mission to plant a church in Beirut-Achrafieh with a promise from God from Deuteronomy 11: 10-12 and Isaiah 62:10.
The starting years were difficult and discouraging. Although I had few volunteers from my mother church working with me but we were not able to make a breakthrough in the community. The attendance was low and our resources were few. Whatever we did we were not able to attract a crowd to church. At that time, we did not have a church building but only a small room that fits 30 people maximum. Also, we did not have any place in the community outside the church walls. I remember one time we wanted to do an outreach in the community and distribute some bibles. We asked a man if we can put a table in front of his apartment that was on the main street. He let us for some time and after that he asked us to leave.
