In this informational episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine takes us through the heart-wrenching realities faced by Lebanon amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. With the backdrop of Lebanon's economic crisis, Elio provides a historical context to the current conflict, tracing its roots back to the establishment of Israel in 1948 and the subsequent formation of resistance movements like Hezbollah. 

Joining Elio is Camille Melki, co-founder of Heart for Lebanon, who shares the harrowing day-to-day experiences of Lebanese families caught in the crossfire. Camille underscores the critical role of the Church and Heart for Lebanon in providing holistic care to those in need, addressing not only physical but also emotional and spiritual impoverishment. Through their efforts, they offer a beacon of hope and resilience in the face of despair.

Listeners will hear poignant stories from the field, including that of Delana, a Kurdish woman displaced twice, and Nisreen, who finds solace in Bible study amidst her family's displacement. These narratives, shared by field managers Bashir and Milad, highlight the transformative impact of Heart for Lebanon's Ministry on individuals and communities.

Camille emphasizes the importance of prayer, awareness, and being messengers of peace. He calls on listeners to engage in prayer for peace, repentance, and the ongoing work of Heart for Lebanon. As the episode concludes, Elio urges listeners to share the podcast, engage with the Heart for Lebanon community, and join in prayer for the safety and wisdom of the team working tirelessly on the ground.
