Elio Constantine with Heart for Lebanon says, “God has blessed us with the opportunity to minister to people wherever they come from in Lebanon, whether they’re local, impoverished or marginalized communities, or refugees that have come to seek refuge in Lebanon.”
“God has provided the opportunity for us to serve them and to show them the way, the way to the truth, the way to their salvation, through Christ and Christ alone.”
In 2006, the country of Lebanon was in a similar political situation as it is today.
“The only difference between 2026 and 2006 is that back then, we did not have a Heart for Lebanon team of 80-plus staff ready to serve the community,” Constantine says. “Today, we have two ministry centers and a ministry center that we’re about to build in South Lebanon.”

Since 2006, Heart for Lebanon has launched programs like the Missional Leadership Program.
The Missional Leadership Program launched in 2020 to equip local leaders to serve their communities, whether they are from nominal Christian backgrounds or Muslim backgrounds.
“Fifty students today are enrolled in the Missional Leadership Program, and this year, more than 30 home-based Bible study groups have been started,” Constantine says.
Groups study Scripture, learn about Jesus, share a meal, and worship together.
“In 2026, we are increasing the number of students to 250 students in the Missional Leadership Program. So 30 groups this year,” Constantine says. “I think we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of home-based Bible study groups that are reaching the unreached in a country that is filled with despair and desperately needs the love of Jesus.”
Please pray that the Vision 20 campaign will touch many lives and that people will be brought to the Lord through it.
