We praise God for the 44 younger leaders from 12 countries in the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) who gathered in Beirut, Lebanon from 1- 4 May 2012

The main goal for this event was to build a network among younger leaders who live, work and minister in the MENA region.

Generosity and stewardship:

Generosity was one of the main themes. Matt Mancinelli from Generous Giving, developed excellent generosity-related material especially for the conference. He used 3 video clips to encourage and challenge younger leaders to be good stewards and generous givers. He also distributed 25 Stewardship Study Bibles that he brought with him from the US to each ministry represented from each country. Sas Conradie Global Generosity Movement Coordinator sent a CD full of recourses on generosity, which was distributed to each participant. 

Participant Testimony

• “It was the first time to hear about generosity and stewardship; it transforms my understanding in this area”
• Participants enjoyed worship time each day, during which they experienced the presence of the Lord and the unity of the body of Christ
