After the recent (July of 2006) "war" in Lebanon, I decided to make this website to do my own little re"search". Did you know that Lebanon is mentioned 71 times in 64 verses in the Bible? I was very interested in the particular verse above, which I did some re "search" on the "cedars of Lebanon"-heard many times...

It's August 13 and a cease fire is coming, which I decided to look for some current news:
Israel At War, from Koinonia House on July 18th
"The fighting began last Wednesday, in the early morning hours, when terrorists launched a barrage of rockets into a town near the Israeli-Lebanese border. However the rockets were a diversion. A few miles to the east, Hezbollah (moqawama-global security info)guerrillas crossed the border, fired anti-tank missiles at two armored vehicles, seized two soldiers, and killed at least seven others. Israel called the raid an "act of war" and has since attacked Lebanon by air and sea and has sent in troops to look for the captured soldiers.
Israel is now batting on two fronts. While war rages in the north, Israel has continued its counter-terrorist offensive in Gaza. Tensions in the region have grown increasing fragile, and violence threatens to consume the entire Middle East."
Believers delivering relief, despite major challenges.
August 14, 2006 (Mission Network News)
"International Aid recently sent five-thousand hygiene kits into the war-torn regions of Lebanon and Syria.
They've partnered with the International Medical Corps to better streamline humanitarian relief efforts. The supplies made it inland, but distribution may be a challenge given the rapidly changing nature of the region.
Approximately 180,000 displaced people are living in Syria, some 67,000 in public sites including schools and camps.
International Aid is now evaluating further response. Their team members serve the physical needs in order to be an example of the love of Christ to those they're helping. If you want to help, contact International Aid through their information listed below."
