AN OVERVIEW
Situated in Beirut, Lebanon, the Middle East Center for World Missions (MEC) is a vital hub for global missions.
Established by Horizons in 2019, MEC equips local churches to send missionaries and offers training programs to develop essential ministry skills.
It also provides a collaborative platform for believers and churches to maximize their impact.
MEC CREATIVE
MEC Creative trains 100+ student interns in music, art, and design, fostering strategic thinking and visual problem-solving.
We host diverse events for believers and churches, including evangelistic outreaches and empowering local believers, plus art exhibitions by Lebanese Christian artists.
MEC WORSHIP
Its purpose is to train believers who want to learn how to play music. Our professional teachers show them what praise and worship principles are through piano, guitar and drum lessons.
Examples of such events include musical outreaches, an inter-denominational worship song contest called Sawti Ilak (“My Voice is Yours”)
MEC ARTS
MEC Arts in Lebanon promotes faith-based art through art exhibitions, free classes, professional learning, and internships.
In February 2023, the "His Touch" exhibition was a testament to how the glory of God, through art, can provide a powerful opportunity for Christian artists to declare God's message to their own communities and beyond!
Now, in late 2023, new art classes with various skill levels have begun, continuing to empower artists to express their faith in Christ.
MEC DESIGN
Our MEC Design Team is committed to nurturing design talents and incorporating them into our mission. We offer various opportunities for growth and collaboration.
We collaborate with other ministries, churches, and companies, providing support for their design needs as well as creating an atmosphere of serving through design for our team.
Our hardworking design team, many of whom started as interns and have now been offered full-time positions to continue serving with us, exemplifies the success of our program.

MEC Merch & Online Shop
Three years ago, our design team took a bold step and established "MEC Merch."
This venture involves printing biblical truths on various products such as mugs, t-shirts, coasters, water bottles, and more.
Check out our MEC Merch online shop where you can find faith-inspired products that spread the message of faith and hope.
MEC CARE
Biblical Counseling with Jesus as Our Guide
MEC Care provides hands-on biblical counseling training, embodying the love, care, and compassion of Jesus, our shepherd and counselor.
Our expert instructors are dedicated to the unwavering guidance of the infallible Word of God, striving to align the thoughts of those seeking counsel with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
MEC LAB: LANGUAGE ACADEMY OF BEIRUT
In October 2020, the MEC Language Academy of Beirut (MEC LAB) was established in Bourj Hammoud in partnership with dedicated believers. They contributed to renovating the space and training our Arabic teachers.
The MEC LAB's ongoing marketing campaign has attracted 14 active students for Arabic language studies, both in person and via Zoom.
The program facilitates their transition to Lebanon, enabling community engagement, language acquisition, and cultural immersion.
