The group from Jordan out for dinner

Often we have visitors from the US or Europe over in Beirut which gives wonderful opportunities to exchange information and to connect them with our relational network in the region. This time we had guest from Jordan over. East-West Initiatives, based in Jordan, initiated the visit and so 6 young people came over for a few days.

They came to visit the Student -Lounge in the Hamra area in Beirut were University student have a safe and affordable location to chill out or to do their work.

The Refugee Camp in the Southern area of Beirut was also what they wanted to visit, since most, if not all, of our visitors have the same heritage as the people living there. It turned out a very deep and shocking experience for our Jordanian visitors as it made them aware of the huge difference there is for them and the people who live in the camps… a ‘dark and light’ experience, may be even ‘life and death’….

Besides all the ‘hard work’ we had some very good times to relax and catch-up with them. It was good to have these folks over and see what exchange of experience can do.! God is good!
