Looking back on 2025, our hearts are full of gratitude for everything God has done through LIVF. From opening our doors to new students and launching fresh initiatives to watching young lives genuinely transformed, it has been a deeply humbling experience to serve this community.
The stand-out moment of our year was celebrating two incredible milestones together: 50 years of LIVF in partnership with IFES, and 60 years since the student movement first took root in Lebanon. Looking back at our roots helped us uncover forgotten stories, names, and faces of the people who laid the groundwork for where we stand today. We are inheriting a legacy built on tremendous faith, love, and sacrifice.
One of the sweetest moments of the celebration was having former LIVF band members step back on stage alongside our current students to lead us in worship a beautiful picture of generations united in praise. As we step into 2026, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who prayed for us, supported us, and walked alongside us. You are a vital part of the LIVF story, and as we look ahead, we hold fast to God’s promise in Ezekiel 36:26: “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you!”
