Maronites are an ethno-religious group located mainly in Lebanon.
The Arab Maronites in Lebanon strongly oppose Arabization. They view it as a first step towards forcing all Arabs to become Muslims.
Typically, presidents of Lebanon have been Maronites.
Maronites are closely associated with Catholicism. They have their connections, but they are separate organizations.
Arab Maronites need to put their faith in the person, Jesus Christ, not in their ethnicity or a religious institution.
Pray for Arab Maronites to put all their trust in Jesus Christ.
Pray for the Lord to use Maronites as his ambassadors to Muslim Arabs throughout the Middle East.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to move mightily in the Maronite Church, purifying them and drawing them to the cross.
