Praise & Prayer for 2025

Dear Friends at SGCC,

We thank you for your generous Christmas gift for our family and for your continued faithfulness in prayer and financial support for Lighthouse Arab World. 

As we leave 2024 behind us we are thankful that the war in Lebanon has reached a ceasefire and we pray that peace will prevail in the region. Because of the violence, our team in Beirut was under constant threat and everyday operations were conducted under great stress. We praise God for the protection of our radio station, studios and office facilities and well as personal homes, since the bombing came close to some of our families.  

The BeLight FM station in Beirut has been operating as a beacon of hope in this dark time of war and our hosts have shared many stories of heartbreak as well as resilience and the power of the Gospel. We praise God for allowing us to be His witnesses in such a time as this. 

We praise God for a beautiful Christmas season celebrating with our family in Florida and we return to the Middle East the first week of January. Imed will first stop in Egypt to aid in the production of a film with our team there. Pray for Ellie’s health (possible reoccurrence of breast cancer) as she seeks guidance from doctors in Lebanon. Pray for wisdom for Imed as he leads the entire Lighthouse ministry. 

Love in Christ,

Imed & Ellie
