Living Faith Ministries 

The Middle East is Changing!

Living Faith Ministry International, a non-denominational ministry, began with a Lebanese-American pastor, Chaouki Boulos, responding to a call from God that it was time to share Jesus in the Middle East in an open manner. Prior to then, Christians had been "sowing" and "watering" but in an underground manner.

Chaouki and a group of believers began in July 2000 in Beirut, Lebanon with Operation Antioch, a five-night, open-air Celebration with uplifting music and dynamic preaching. Christians from the US offered support, doing street evangelism, ministering in orphanages, developing a children's ministry, hosting basketball clinics and generally encouraging people in the local churches. Since July 2000, Celebrations have been held twice a year in Beirut. They've also held events in Syria, Egypt and Jordan. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, far above what anyone predicted, with churches of all denominations participating.

Ministries of relief and compassion to people in distress are ongoing and a new retreat center is being planned. For more information, visit www.operationantioch.com or email operationantioch@hotmail.com.
