Support Evangilization in the Middle East
“Let your light shine before others.” Said our Lord.
Tele Lumiere and Noursat, like many other institutions in Lebanon and the Middle East, is suffering tremendously and in danger of shutting down if it is not supported.
Very few parishes in the USA, of all Middle Eastern traditions, are supporting it. True there are millions living in poverty in the Middle East and we need to help them, but there are more millions living in darkness and need the message of hope and salvation. It is our responsibility to evangelize them.
We urge you in Christ’s name to help support Noursat. Here are few brotherly suggestions:
Talk about Noursat’s role of evangelization in the Middle East.
Announce this weekend the two-days Telethon. Share on your social media the attached video and flier about the Telethon.
Include in your weekly/monthly bulletin the attached flier about supporting Noursat.
God entrusted Noursat into our hands, let us unite our hands and hearts to keep it shinning.
With prayers and thanksgiving.
