Beer-lahai-roi is the name of the well where Hagar met the Angel of the Lord for the first time (Genesis 16:14). She received a word from the Lord to name her son Ishmael, which means, “The Lord has heard your affliction…”. Led by this word, the Lahairoi Ministry is standing to reach Hagar’s generation and their neighboring nations. God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 22:17 is about Ishmael as wel
l. The Lahairoi Ministry is a symbol of hope and fountain of water to fatherless nations. Our vision is to see the Middle East Evangelized. May the Lord bless all who involved in His work! Our Mission
The focus of Lahairoi Ministries today is the nations in the Middle East and the Central Asia. They have a great role in the last days, and the Lord spoke about them through His prophets. These are urgent regions, and further work of the Church, the Body of Christ, will be far more difficult, if it does not focus on these areas at the right time…
If in the past, we used to be informed from media about what was going on in the Middle East, now there is no need in this. Look around: there are Christians displaced from the Middle East everywhere. Every day one can hear about brothers and sisters, who have become refugees, about bans on Church services, beatings of Christians and persecutions. Everything is done so that Christians are kept in clutches of fear, restrictions, and poverty. In the Middle East, biblical prophecies are being unfolded and fulfilled…
Be reminded, that everything started in the Middle East. The Salvation Plan, which is the main goal for humanity, was launched here. The Law and the Prophets were written, and biblical miracles took place here. Our Lord, the Light of the world, came to this world, was crucified, and made atonement for the sin of humanity here, and He rose again from here. The GRACE was given from here… The Acts of the Apostles started, the first Church was born; and Christian civilization originated from here… No, children of God are not dependent on earthly locations; however, our Lord still has work to do in this region. There are prophecies that are still to be fulfilled… Our Lord has chosen this region as the place of the beginning and the end of the Salvation Plan for humanity. That is why hell is violent in its unrest, launching one war after another… The adversary is taking action! Day after day, the enemy closes this region for the Gospel even more. Moreover, he cleans this region from Christians. He strives to take possession of what is the inheritance of the children of God. Therefore, the mission of Lahairoi Ministries is to give a helping hand to Christians, our brothers and sisters in this region, which is hostile to the Gospel, to preserve and develop the Christian culture which is disappearing, and most importantly, to prepare the way of Coming of our Lord.
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations…” (Matthew 24:14). We support people in this region by organizing Christian studies, translating and printing books in their native languages, strengthening them in faith and prayers. Lahairoi Ministries gives a helping hand and pours its heart to the oppressed by the devil in the Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries, to reveal the Truth to them and to bring them out of their situation. By spreading Christian literature in these nations, we lift up the faith based on the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ in them and make them effective in spiritual warfare, so that they can stand for their families, be free of fear, and inherit salvation through Christ. What We Want To Accomplish
In Lahairoi Ministries, discussion of plans for future development takes place once a year, and is based on productivity of previous years. Our vision is to see the Middle East evangelized. Of course, we know that there will never be peace without Christ; however, the Good News of the Kingdom must be preached in this region, as our Lord has harvest here. Our goal is…
to direct Christians in biblical teachings, and to be more effective than during previous years;
to reach to each Christian in this region and to show them the love of the Father and the salvation plan, the spiritual weapons and the armor of a Christian (Ephesians 6:13-17). to fill their spirits, which are full of fear and abandonment, with hope and faith toward Jesus Christ. to arm them with the living Word of God, in their native language, with Christian literature and sermons, and of course to teach them to persevere in prayers. to draw the attention of the Church around the world to the Middle East. to send zealous missionaries and passionate prayer warriors to these regions. to get more pastors, preachers, ministers of the Gospel involved into and focused on the last day prophecies. to help the Christians and the new converts to receive Bible School studies. Pursuits
We start closer cooperation with the regions in the Middle East and Central Asia, where there are local Churches and Christian organizations. Lahairoi Ministries receives help from volunteers who live in Christian countries that border the Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries. As inhabitants of neighboring countries, they are much closer in culture to the nations of the region, to which Lahairoi Ministries is commissioned. As followers of Christ, they are filled with love and compassion toward their neighbors. We will translate educational literature for active missionaries on church planting. We are in the process of creation of online libraries. Our brothers and sisters can receive fresh and healthy spiritual nourishment in their native languages. Bibles in the languages of each of these nations will be placed online, as there are regions where it is forbidden to bring Bibles. We expect our overall activities’ impact up to 8.000.000 Christians. Churches will receive support, such as first aid items (medicine, food, and clothing). Our Impact
Lahairoi Ministries reached the nations by distributing Christian books and providing food and clothing to refugees affected by the war in the Middle East. Each of our events is carried out through efforts and generosity of volunteers. Lahairoi Ministries translates and publishes Christian literature, sermons, and teaching materials in 12 languages. As far back as ten years ago, Christians in these regions used Christian literature translated in the 19th century. Concepts of faith, healing, resisting the devil’s power and other biblical teachings were strange for many of them. When Lahairoi Publishing started distribution of books with these teachings, a big wave of concern arose among the underground churches. Many of them, who were oppressed by the devil, and had incurable diseases were sure that those were punishments received from their Heavenly Father. They completely lacked the concept of GOD IS GOOD. We testify with joy, that from the 2nd year of translation and distribution of the books, we already had obvious results. Those who read the books turn from being weary, fearful and terrified of constant persecutions, to faith-ignited, on-fire Christians, who were ready to pass the baton to the next generation. One had to see the excitement of those enlightened people, as they passed the words of faith to their hopeless brothers and sisters. We were stunned to see how the Spirit worked in their lives; we praised our LORD, as the blind saw, the deaf heard and the lame ran. PRAISE HIM FOREVER! It was so overwhelming to see how the team of volunteers distributed little kids’ Gospel tracts among the children of the refugees. The books were translated into the children’s native language. These children, who lived in tents, had not had any books for two years. They were reading the kids’ Gospel with insatiable interest. Even their parents asked us to bring Gospels for adults. It is amazing how Christian literature impacts people. And it is for a reason that GOD gave His commandments and plans to humanity through a BOOK. Our Supporters
Lahairoi Ministries carries out its principal activities through committed volunteers and the Focus Team. The team members live and work in the USA, the Caucasus, the Middle East and the Central Asia. The Team members are chosen from Christians who live in the region where our vision is carried out. They are well aware of the culture, language and religions of the region and work in a specific way to make disciples among these nations. Stewardship and Accountability
