Beirut LDS Branch

Church Leaders Offer Condolences After Beirut, Lebanon Explosion Area Presidency prays that God will bless the injured and pour out peace and comfort on all who are mourning.

When Dr. Ghassan Salem, professor of ancient language and religion, first read the Book of Mormon it was clear to him as a subject expert that it was an authentic ancient record of middle eastern/Semitic origin.

However, what was more important was the message of faith and God's power and love that he felt in reading it. Dr. Salem says that it awakened something in him and that he owes his faith to the book.

Sister Roula Akiki shares her beautiful thoughts and feelings as she has ministered to her fellow sisters through her church calling.

These 13 powerful LDS scripture verses are known as the "Articles of Faith", they summarize our fundamental beliefs and convictions in the Lord Jesus Christ and His Church.

"Together with the Bible, the Book of Mormon is an indispensable witness of the doctrines of Christ and His divinity....Again and again the Book of Mormon acts as a confirming, clarifying, unifying witness of the doctrines taught in the Bible so that there is only 'one Lord, one faith, one baptism.' " -Elder Tad R. Callister

Everyone is a pioneer

Last week Elder Wilford W. Andersen of the Seventy (see Luke 10) visited Beirut. He is a worldwide leader for our Church and was joined by his wife, Kathleen. They visited government and religious leaders, helped with a humanitarian project, and met with members and friends. They also held a meeting with refugees here in Lebanon to hear their stories and learn about their needs. It was great! Nearly 20% of all the forcibly displaced people in the world live in our district. All on the panel agreed that the greatest need is to pursue education! Many of the adults had college degrees, but their children were stuck. We hope to find some solutions to this challenge!

This will be an historic week for the Beirut Branch. We are pleased to host the District Conference of our Church, with members and friends coming from 5 countries in the region. Saturday we will go by bus to Faqra for workshops and fun activities. Sunday at 10 am we will have inspirational meetings and lunch.
Elder Gary S. Price of the Seventy will lead us.
