UPDATE MAY 2023
Our goal at Give to Live has always been to partner with various causes that align with our mission. the cause of the persecuted Christians in Lebanon and surrounding areas has been our focus for the past year. Our first year of ministry has just come to a close and Give to Live will now shift gears to begin preparing for our next area of focus.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor ...
... to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve ..."
Isaiah 61
