WSCF Middle East: Youth and Prayers

Middle East is the cradle of the three religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the home of more than three hundred million people and a meeting point of all religions. Nowadays its suffering and is in an unstable status. Despite the war and the continuous instability, people forget and rise again, specially the youth who come together and fight against everyday discriminations, poverty and war… WSCF Middle East is one of those organizations who join together all the Christian youth movements from Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine,

Sudan and Syria under one roof to become one and embrace God as one and live the ecumenical life.

During the past two years, WSCF Middle East has organized lectures, conferences, social events and gatherings both regional and local. In the summer of 2012 WSCF Middle East organized a yearly youth gathering “Aya Napa 27-th“ which was titled “The Youth and Freedom in Church and in Society”, held in Broumana, Lebanon. Participants from all the regional countries participated in the event, and discussions evolved around the latest Middle Eastern problems and the Arab spring. After the Aya Napa meeting, the Regional Meeting was held in the same location and all the regional movements’ presidents or representatives participated to discuss and to resolve the new problems facing the youth and Christianity as a whole. In January 2013 WSCF Middle East organized a one day event dedicated for the prayer week’s “Pray together for the Unity of the Churches” which was held at the Saydet El-Bir Church
