CrossTalk - About

The mission of CrossTalk is to help each person develop his/her full potential in Christ by teaching/living the Word of God in an Ecumenical Educational Environment. CrossTalk’s goals are to:  help its members to ‘Live Christ’ through: 1. Christian education classes aimed to teach how to put ‘faith into action’ in an ecumenical environment 2. Programs reaching out to the community, namely: • ‘T H R I V E’, the Christian Night Club, held regularly throughout the year, where the youth enjoy and dance to worship music as King David did. The event gives the healthier alternative to outings and gears the young generation away from inappropriate company and behavior • ‘Faith through Love’, where the Word of God is spread to 70 underprivileged people through weekly classes. The program also provides them with hygienic and moral support • ‘Faith through Knowledge’, a weekly literacy program where 18 underprivileged students are taught Arabic, French and English through Bible verses • ‘Give of Yourself to Others’, which helps the sick and gives them Joy, where wigs, made from hair donations, are provided to cancer patients. In Lebanon, CrossTalk’s youth were the pioneers in initiating the program in 2009. The initial number of donated wigs was 50 per year and has now remarkably increased to 400 wigs per year • ‘Share the Care’, where CrossTalk distributes food to 10,400 hungry individuals per year • ‘Church Readings’ where CrossTalk provides the Sunday Divine Liturgy readings pertaining to the Melkite Geek Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Maronite church, in Arabic, English, French and Amharic • Recycling, where the CrossTalk community reduces waste tremendously by sorting and delivering 3640 boxes of waste yearly • Christian entertainment and growth through spiritual retreats, camps, Mountain Movers program (summer activities), movie nights and game nights • A growing library with more than 2000 books and audiovisual items 3. Workshops to train Christian educators all over Lebanon  provide families with one thriving ecumenical Christian community where all denominations can come together in living the Word of God  contribute to preserving Christianity in Lebanon and ultimately in the Middle East, by guiding Christians to live Christ
