This webinar is a joint initiative by the World Council of Churches and the Middle East Council of Churches, seeking to highlight and strengthen the essential service-oriented role of churches in times of crisis.

The Middle East continues to face protracted conflicts, humanitarian crises, and deep social and economic disruption. In these contexts, churches and church-related organizations play a vital role as service providers and community anchors, often remaining present where other systems have collapsed or are inaccessible.

The webinar will highlight themes such as: Diakonia as Service in Times of War; Humanitarian and Social Service Delivery; Health and Healing Ministries; Community Support and Social Cohesion; Psychosocial and Pastoral Care; and Sustaining Services in Fragile Contexts.
