Lebanon is a beautiful, mountainous country on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea, with many historic sites.

Lebanese are hospitable, well-educated, and enjoy some of the best cuisine in the world.
More than a million people in Lebanon have been displaced from Israeli airstrikes throughout the country and a ground invasion in southern Lebanon. Israel and Lebanon have a fragile ceasefire but there are ongoing military attacks. The MCC apartment is located in a safe neighborhood in Beirut, and MCC has security protocols and procedures in place for personnel safety. If it becomes necessary for international staff to leave Beirut for a period of time, they will be relocated to Amman, Jordan where the MCC Area Directors for Europe and the Middle, who supervise the LSI Reps, are based.
Beirut is Lebanon’s capital and largest city, home to around 2.5 million of the country’s 6 million people. The climate ranges from hot and humid in summers to rainy and cold in winters. Arabic is the official language with English or French a language of instruction in high school, so it is possible to navigate in Beirut and much of the country in French or English. Beirut has a few English-speaking churches in the Protestant tradition, as well as many Christian worship options (Orthodox, Maronite, Armenian, Evangelical, etc.) in Arabic and other languages.
