Module One - YFC Lebanon Intro

Youth For Christ (YFC) Lebanon seeks to equip, educate, and restore shalom while sharing the love and peace of Christ with young people from diverse backgrounds, including refugees. They do this through several avenues. Peace and reconciliation is at the center of all that they do. Through one specific program —Ambassadors of Peace — they offer a unique opportunity for children and youth of different races, genders, socioeconomic backgrounds, and religions to come together in a very powerful way.

Module Two - Faith-based Peacebuilding

Within the broader context of peacebuilding and development is a theme that has become increasingly prominent in recent decades: the role of faith-based organizations in executing effective development. Specifically, within that arena lies a mounting case for faith actors as central players in peacebuilding efforts in some of the world’s most fragile places. Some successful approaches focus on three key elements: breaking bread, addressing contextualized psychosocial factors, and considering the intersection of child psychology and sociology.

Module Three - Building Flourishing Communities

Through humble but intelligent approaches to peacebuilding, Youth for Christ Lebanon is helping young people from across the ethnic, religious, and socio-economic spectrum find common ground, work together, and promote peace in their communities. In partnership with Arab Baptist Theological Seminary, the organization provides a model, not only for other organizations to replicate in other fragile contexts, but also for the next generation to build flourishing communities with their peers.
