Despite the tensions and the challenges related to the repeated wars and violent extremism that are surrounding the church in Lebanon, the Christian community is called to renew the process of deep understanding of its own mission. The teachings revealed through Evangelii Nunitiandi (Paul VI) till Evangelii Gaudium (Pope Francis) enrich the local Christian experience and redirect its mission to be perceived in its glocal context, here and now! This mission is called to surpass the challenges of today, while refocusing on Christ, toward a successful “crossing over” journey that transcends boundaries. After re- defining the concept of the mission this paper extrapolates on the importance of renewing the understanding of the mission and evangelization in a specific context affected by suffering. The methodology utilized in this study is textual analysis based particularly on the writings of theologians, researchers and practitioners in this field. This study concludes that the challenges of today force the Lebanese church “to go forth” to leave its comfort zone seeking to establish a universal solidarity that that goes beyond limits and challenges while being cemented to its own context.
