Prayer for the Nations: Lebanon
Introduction to Lebanon:
Lebanon, a small but influential country in the Middle East, has long been a crossroads of cultures, religions, and conflict. Home to around 5.5 million people—with many more refugees living within its borders—Lebanon has one of the most religiously diverse populations in the region. While many identify as Christian (including Maronite Catholics and Orthodox), only a small number have placed their faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior. The evangelical church is small but growing and has played a critical role in providing aid and hope during recent economic collapse and ongoing political instability. Let’s lift up Lebanon in prayer, asking God to work powerfully through faithful believers and bring spiritual renewal to the nation.
