We are an independent non-profit organization spreading God’s love to our communities and offering a hand of help to those in need.
In 2015, Elie Raheb-Khallo and Dr. Jad Mrad embarked on a personal mission to provide
medical care and spread the word of Jesus to four families in Mount Lebanon district. Their
passion for helping those in need was soon joined by a dedicated community of donors who
shared their vision of spreading love and hope.
With the unwavering support of these generous donors, Spread Life's mission expanded to
reach more families in need. By the end of 2018, they were providing medical care to over 50
families and inspiring a growing number of stewards to join the mission of spreading joy and
positivity.
In September 2019, God revealed a new calling to Spread Life, leading them to set up a
dedicated kitchen in Cornet el Hamra. This new initiative allowed them to provide daily
meals to those in need of a helping hand in the kitchen. As poverty and unemployment
continued to rise in Lebanon, the team at Spread Life was further called to action with the
creation of their Pantry program, which provides monthly food subsidies to those struggling
to make ends meet.
Today, Spread Life's impact is felt across Beirut, Mount Lebanon, Keserwan Districts, Zahlé
Bekaa, and beyond. They serve more than 450 families and 250 individuals, and their service
continues to grow to meet the needs of the poor and oppressed. It's through the dedication
and compassion of Elie, Jad, and the entire Spread Life community that they are able to make
a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
At Spread Life, our mission is centered on serving the most vulnerable children, teenagers, and families from all walks of life, irrespective of their race, ethnicity, or religion, while following the example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We believe that we are responsible to develop our community.
We believe that transparency and ethics are the basis of our service.
Believing God motivates us to share His message via dedication and service.
We believe that together we can build resilience and be responsive.
