Challenges
Our current di昀케cul琀椀es are:
•
High cost of medica琀椀on:
Many essen琀椀al drugs are expensive
and di昀케cult to obtain in Lebanon.
•
Veri昀椀ca琀椀on and logis琀椀cs:
Ensuring fair distribu琀椀on and covering diverse regions takes 琀椀me
and resources.
Challenges we face in the future
are:
•
Sustainability:
Without
con琀椀nuous funding, we may need
to reduce reach or shorten the
length of assistance.
•
Scaling up: Expanding interven琀椀on to serve more families
requires stronger partnerships with
clinics, pharmacies, and donors.
Prayer
•
Team: for encouragement
and strength. The needs are overwhelming, and the stories we hear
are o昀琀en heavy, while resources are
limited and bureaucracy is draining.
Ask God to 昀椀ll us with hope and joy
as we con琀椀nue serving.
•
People We Help: many
deal with long-term health issues
like diabetes, high blood pressure,
or heart disease, while some face
more speci昀椀c illnesses such as cancer or are wai琀椀ng on medical results that bring extra stress. On top
of this, a number also struggle with
depression, anxiety, or other serious mental health disorders, which
makes coping even harder. Pray
that they 昀椀nd strength, peace, and
hope as they walk through these
di昀케cult seasons.
•
Las琀椀ng Impact: we believe
this is more than just handing out
medicine. We spend 琀椀me listening
to people, encouraging them, and
walking with them through tough
seasons. Pray that each person
feels loved, valued, and cared for.
•
Wider Work of Al Shabiba
Risala: this project is part of ASR’s
bigger vision to care for the whole
person: body, mind, and spirit. Pray
that it con琀椀nues to be a strong witness of God’s love in ac琀椀on.
•
For the Carers: Most of
those looking a昀琀er the people we
serve are close family members –
o昀琀en a spouse, parent, or child.
They not only carry the 昀椀nancial
load of medical costs but also the
heavy emo琀椀onal weight of watching a loved one su昀昀er. Many are
exhausted and feel unseen in their
own struggles. Pray that they would
be strengthened, encouraged, and
supported, and that they too would
experience peace and hope in the
middle of their caring role.
•
Breakthroughs: access to
healthcare is o昀琀en blocked by lack
of resources and complicated systems. Pray for God’s provision and
for open doors to make access to
help easier.
