"Pray
ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send
forth laborers into His harvest." (Matthew 9:37)
In a country
where the Christian faith is minority, the harvest is indeed
plentiful!
Badaro Baptist Church has been appointed by the Supreme
Council of Prisons in Lebanon to supervise
the on-going Evangelical work in local prisons. Our aim is
to bring the message of Hope to the hopeless, and Christ's
love to those who never knew the meaning of the word. The
ministry also extends beyond the prisoners themselves to
reach their families and their children wherever they
reside. Our main aim is to bring those families to Christ
and thus give them the opportunity of a better life – here
and thereafter.

"Remember
the prisoners as if chained with them..."
(Hebrews 13:3) |

We
praise the Lord for this wide evangelism door that
He has opened before us, in which the message of
Jesus’ love and salvation is being brought to these
inmates who are in desperate need for Christ’s love. |

The Prison Events 2010-2011
This year we were blessed to hold
ministries in many languages. Counselors Michel
and Farid gave the message of Salvation and the
three counselors: Sara, Erene, and Irma led the
worship in the following languages: English,
Tagalo, Malagasy, and Hindi. The prisoners
greatly enjoyed the sermons and their response
was quite amazing. They had so many questions to
ask so we had to extend the session to be able
to respond to all their questions. Their
questions were varied and revolved around the
themes of sin, God’s love, and salvation.
When the visit ended food, juice, sweets, and
gift packs were distributed to all the
prisoners. |

The Prison Events 2009-2010
Besides the regular and weekly visits, January
remains the most busy month, where we were very
blessed to hold a series of events in all the
prisons.

Pastors Tony Skaff, Charbel Malak, Ayman
Kafrouny, and brothers Michel Salloum and the
singers Najib Labib and Jamileh Tannous.

Reaching out to the prisoners' families
The main purpose of this ministry is
presenting the gospel, so that many may be
saved and have eternal life. The second
purpose includes legal services in courts,
social and humanitarian services such as
providing medicines and food to prisoners
and their families.
Our aim is to ensure that those families
would choose the right track lest they too
end up in prison. |

Sin El Fil
Church Center
The foundation of Sin El Fil
church center dates back to the late 1970s. The ministry
started when one of the church members started to invite his
neighbors to gather in his house where he preached the
gospel to them. Later on, the church bought the apartment so
they could arrange an official meeting every Tuesday, with a
Sunday school class for children. The church is truly a
blessing for the whole area. Meanwhile, a small group from
Badaro church meets there once a week for a prayer meeting. |

Special programs for the kids
The
children of Sin El Fil often enjoy a special
program arranged by the youth of our church,
where they learn and sing Christian songs, play
games, watch sketches, and listen to a message
from the bible that invites them, as children,
“to come to Jesus for of such is the kingdom of
heaven”.
Gifts are offered at the end of
each program.
We believe in a living and
active word and we pray for a new generation
that will rise and carry the gospel to others. |
