Lebanon Global Project
Beirut is a beautiful city, rich in history and culture. It’s also a city that has faced a number of challenges, both politically and economically, which are causing many to ask big questions and search for hope.
In Beirut, there are small groups of Christian students who meet on campus and seek to share their faith with their fellow students. We’ll get the chance to meet with and encourage these students and serve alongside them, as together we give students on their campuses the opportunity to discover how Jesus is good news for them.
[Many of you will be aware of the ongoing instability in the Middle East. We want to reassure you that we’ll not send any team unless we’re confident that it’ll be safe. When planning all our trips, Agapé UK takes the safety of our participants very seriously. We consider the latest travel advice published by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO – gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice) and other private travel security management companies. We won’t travel to any regions where the FCDO recommendation is ‘essential travel only’. If we can’t travel to our originally intended destination, we’ll first consider the option of changing location before considering cancelling the trip. In the event of cancellation, you’ll be offered a full refund minus the cost of any expenditure already incurred on your behalf.]

Application Process
Our application helps you and us figure out if the Lebanon Global Project is the right fit. We’re not looking for perfect people, so just be honest in your answers.
The application takes up to 60 minutes to complete. If you are logged in to your Google account, your form will auto save in the same browser for up to 30 days. Once you submit your application, you will receive a copy to the e-mail address that you provide.
You also must send the Reference Form to two people: one church leader and one Agapé UK staff member, or a trusted Christian friend if needed. Send this link to your references and ask them to submit them by the application deadline, 15 March.
Also, e-mail a scanned copy of your passport photo page to globalprojects@agape.org.uk .
Please submit your application and references before 15 March, and you’ll hear back within a week. The earlier you apply, the better your chance of securing a spot and the more time you give yourself to fund raise.
All project fees need to be fully paid into Agapé UK by 11 June.
Raising the funds to go
The cost of this year’s Lebanon Global Project is £2,560 which includes your project fees, housing, meals and travel expenses.That might sound a bit daunting, especially if you’re a student, but raising the funds is actually a faith-building and encouraging part of the experience!
We encourage everyone to build a team of partners (friends, family, churches) who support you by praying for you and giving financially towards the cost of the project. As you develop this team, you’ll often find that God provides all the resources you need; it’s really about trusting Him and making your needs known to enough people so you can connect with those He’s calling to join you. Seeing people support you in this way can be a hugely encouraging part of the journey, and it’s a chance to involve others in what God is doing through the project.
Agapé UK will provide a helpful fundraising pack full of practical tips and biblical insight, and an Agapé staff member is available to support you in person, by phone, or email. It’s best to start fundraising as soon as you receive your Acceptance Pack, which will include any specific deadlines. We require all funds to be raised before the fundraising deadline. If you raise more than you need, you can consider helping someone else on the project. If the deadline is approaching and you’re struggling, we will do our best to provide whatever encouragement or support you need to help you reach your target. Please rest assured that we handle each person’s fundraising situation individually. Just a heads-up: donations can’t be Gift Aided anymore due to government rules.
