GBC Missions | May Mission Month 2020 | Baptist World Aid

GBC Missions | May Mission Month 2020 | Baptist World Aid

The Syrian civil war is a humanitarian crisis that affects 13 million people. We’ve already supported this project for 4 years, and due to the ongoing severity of this crisis we are committing to another 3 years. With over 70% of Syrian refugees living below the poverty line, we are supporting the distribution of urgently needed items to 20,000 people that are a means for survival during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as resources to survive the harsh winter months. To address the root causes of extreme poverty we’re also supporting programs that will enable 3000 marginalised people to access public services, receive education & access to vocational training & support systems. And here is an insight into the bigger picture.

Jodene got the chance to speak to Baptist World Aid representatives, Church Relationship Manager for NSW & ACT Marbuen Diaz and CEO John Hickey about GBC's ongoing support in Lebanon
