Beirut Cries out for your help
Beirut ACN project partner, Sister Hanan Youssef, “I survived 15 years of civil war and yet I could not imagine such a horrible thing happening to our people.” She added: “More than ever, the people are in need of help. We are so grateful for the prayers and support of our dear friends at ACN.”
Aid to the Church in Need is committed to helping those suffering the aftereffects of the massive explosion that hit Beirut on August 4th. We are asking our donors to pray for our fellow brothers and sisters and to give what they can – no amount is ever too small when the need is so great.
