ReBridge Ministry Update: Prayer for the Middle East & Refugee Response

Dear Friends and Partners,

The situation in the Middle East has escalated significantly in recent days as conflict involving Iran and its proxies continues to spread across the region. Many of our ministry partners serve the Lord faithfully in difficult environments throughout the Middle East, and this moment calls for our prayers more than ever. First, we ask you to pray for protection for U.S. troops and allied forces who are confronting this dangerous situation. May the Lord grant wisdom to leaders and safety to those serving on the front lines. Please also pray for our ministry partners and believers across the Middle East. Many courageous brothers and sisters continue their ministry work in the midst of instability, caring for families and sharing the hope of the Gospel even during crisis. Because ReBridge has deep relationships in Lebanon, we are seeing the impact of this conflict firsthand. As fighting intensifies in southern Lebanon, many families have been forced to flee their homes with very little. Large numbers of displaced people are searching for safety and shelter.

Displaced Refugees Waiting for Shelter

Many displaced families have nowhere to go and are waiting outdoors hoping to find shelter.

Through the Story Center in Sidon, a ministry that ReBridge supports, several displaced families have already found refuge. In addition, our family home in the village of Mieh‑Mieh has been opened to receive believers fleeing the conflict, including Kurdish and Alawite-background Christian families connected to churches in southern Lebanon. We are deeply grateful for the believers and local leaders who have opened their homes and ministries to care for these families during this difficult time.

Scripture reminds us: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” — Matthew 25:35

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age.” — Ephesians 6:12

Please pray with us for:

• Protection for U.S. troops and allied forces 

• Safety for our ministry partners across the Middle East 

• Provision for displaced refugee families 

• Strength for churches and ministries serving them 

• And ultimately that the Lord will bring true and lasting peace to the region

Thank you for standing with us in prayer and support.

With gratitude,

Kalim Andraos 

Director, ReBridge
