Dear Friend,

When they recovered the body of 25-year-old Joe, he was buried
deep in rubble and clutching his Cross. Faith was a companion at
a desperate time for this young soul to whom religion and country
meant so much.

Joe is one of more than 200 people who lost their lives on that
tragic day when an explosion ripped through Lebanon's capital.

Beirut has been shattered, particularly its Christian quarter.
When 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate ignited on August 4th, it
destroyed ten churches, displaced 300,000 people, tore apart
people's livelihoods and resulted in incalculable suffering. The
faithful have only us to depend on now.

We are committed to helping our fellow Christians who were
already suffering from civil unrest, poverty and COVID when this
disaster struck. Our emergency aid is a true lifeline for our
brothers and sisters who face such desperate times.

From Beirut, our project partner, Sister Hanan Youssef, told us,
"I survived 15 years of civil war and yet I could not imagine
such a horrible thing happening to our people. 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."

We are indeed incredibly grateful, as well, for any help you
give: $5, $10, $100 - whatever is within your means will help
those who are feeling both helpless and hopeless right now.
Please bring the promise of a better tomorrow back to Beirut.

God bless you and those in distress right now in Lebanon.


Prayerfully yours,

Sarkis Boghjalian
Executive Director


P.S. At a moment when you must have struggles of your own, thank
you for reading this and for giving if you can:
