This is from the Middle East Council of Churches today in response to the massive explosion yesterday in the port area of Beirut. Even as the news unfolds we know that more than 100 people died, thousands were injured, and an estimated quarter million have been left homeless.

Beirut, God is with you: A Prayer from the Middle East Council of Churches

KAIROS grieves the loss of life and devastation in Beirut. We stand with the people of Lebanon in solidarity and prayer and share this statement from the Middle East Council of Churches.

Beirut is devastated
Beirut is facing a tragedy
Let’s stand together. Let’s rescue the wounded and those who lost their homes
Let’s pray for the victims
O God, have mercy on our beloved Lebanon and on its heartbroken people. Do not hide Your face from us!
