Open Doors in Lebanon

Every patient that visited our medical clinic had to go through a physical and spiritural education class. The conversation might go somthing like this..."God not only cares about your physical health but also spiritual. Are you clean on the inside? The Prophet Jermiah says that the heart is desperately wicked. How are you going to stand before a holy God with a dirty heart?...." 
 These ladys were lead to tears after hearing how much God loves them. Some of these women were followers of Jesus.  
 This man supports President Assad and the Ba'athist Government. However, the refugees we visited represented both political sides.The Syrian opposition refugees would often thank us and tell us how proud they were of President Obama because of his support.
 Families live together, as this mother and daughter prepare some Syrian food.
 Brother Jimmy shares the gospel with a group of Syrians enjoying a smoke from their hookah. 
 Despite the chaos on the outside of the home, the inside is suprisingly clean. The majority of refugees have to rent the plot of land from local Lebanese. Thankfully a lot of the Syrians are able to find manual labor jobs locally.  
 Romney, a local nurse who volunteers his time with Face of Harvest, assist an elderly Syrian Bedouin.  
 A mom and her children wait to be treated.
 This young man has a problem with his right eye. We are praying the next time we conduct a medical camp we will have optomitrists to treat the various eye problems.
These young Syrians were eager to accept the Injil (gospel). Virtually all the refugees we talked to knew nothing of Jesus Christ or the Bible.
