Beverley Timgren has been serving as a gentle
witness for Christ in southern Lebanon and northern
Israel for over 20 years. A dental
hygienist with a heart for people caught in the Middle East's ongoing conflict,
she has been instrumental in setting up
dental clinics to help those without access to care and has been a bridge to provide other needed
services to
multitudes of people who would have been left behind without her intercession.
After years of ministry in the Marjayoun district of South Lebanon,
Beverley was forced to leave the area in May 2000 when Israeli peacekeeping troops
withdrew, allowing the South Lebanese Army to collapse and Hizballah militia
members to move in. Since then she has been instrumental in helping arrange relief
for thousands of Lebanese refugees who have sought asylum in Israel. Her story
is best told in the newsletters and articles listed below.
