Hope in Action: Stories of Missional Leadership

In this episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine sits down with Joseph and Tony from Heart for Lebanon's Team to discuss the transformative Missional Leadership Program. This initiative is designed to equip local Ministry leaders to serve their communities in Lebanon, Syria, and beyond.Joseph shares the origins of the Missional Leadership Program, which began in response to the influx of Syrian refugees during the Arab Spring and the Syrian war. He explains how the Program aims to move people from despair to hope through Jesus Christ, focusing on both their physical and spiritual needs. The Program is now in its third year and has expanded to include both Syrian refugees and Lebanese participants.This episode highlights the program's three pillars: spiritual foundation, character formation, and skill development. Joseph provides an in-depth look at the curriculum, which includes lessons on biblical knowledge, character traits, and practical skills. The goal is to prepare participants to become future leaders who can positively influence their communities.We also hear personal testimonies from Program participants like Ahmad, Jacob, and Jomaa, who share how the Missional Leadership Program has impacted their lives and strengthened their faith. Tony, a trainer in the Program, shares inspiring stories of transformation, including those of Mahmoud, a Kurdish man from Syria, and Joseph, a Lebanese Maronite.Join us as we explore the profound impact of the Missional Leadership Program and the incredible stories of change and discipleship happening in Lebanon.Don't forget to rate, review, and share this podcast with your family and friends.
