The impact seen spiritually is:
•
Many families (from diverse
religious backgrounds) welcomed
prayer and encouragement during
visits.
•
Recipients tes琀椀昀椀ed that
they felt God’s love through Al
Shabiba Risala’s presence e.g., one
woman in isola琀椀on said the visit reminded her she was not alone.

Through this, people’s
knowledge of God has grown as
they encounter Christ’s love in
both word and ac琀椀on.

through:

50 individuals received
life-saving medica琀椀ons in the last
cycle, including cancer pa琀椀ents and
elderly people with chronic condi琀椀ons.
•
Families facing 昀椀nancial
hardship were able to access medica琀椀on they otherwise could not
a昀昀ord.
•
The ini琀椀a琀椀ve restored dignity and hope, reminding people
they are not forgo琀琀en.
•
By combining medical and
emo琀椀onal support, Al Shabiba
Risala has become a trusted presence in Bourj Hammoud, building
bridges across ethnic and religious
divides.
