THE INTERNATIONAL CEDARS MINISTRY -ICM
Rooted in Christ. Leading with Purpose.
Building Christ-centered leaders. Creating bridges. Fostering unity.
International Cedars Ministry (ICM) is a Lebanon-based ministry dedicated to serving, equipping, and connecting leaders and decision-makers across government, media, business, education, faith, and other spheres of society.
In a nation marked by extraordinary diversity, yet also by deep political, religious, and social divisions, ICM seeks to create something increasingly rare: a place where leaders can come together across those divides, build genuine relationships, pray, listen, and discover common ground.
Grounded in the example of Jesus, ICM seeks to develop leaders of integrity, wisdom, compassion, and responsibility, while building bridges of trust and cooperation within Lebanon and around the world.
“And they will be called righteous trees, planted by the Lord to glorify Him.”
A Movement of Leaders
Each week in Beirut, leaders from politics, media, business, culture, and faith gather in an unusually simple setting—the home of ICM’s founders. What began as a small gathering has grown to regularly bring together 50 to 75 people from remarkably diverse backgrounds.
They come together not around politics or institutional agendas, but around relationships, meaningful conversation, fellowship, and prayer.
In a country too often defined by what divides its people, ICM is creating opportunities for something different: unity built one relationship at a time.
Lebanon National Prayer Dinner
In 2025, ICM helped facilitate the first Lebanon National Prayer Dinner, bringing together approximately 600 people, including leaders from Lebanon, the United States, Europe, and across the Middle East.
Modeled after the National Prayer Breakfast tradition in the United States, held annually in Washington, D.C., since 1953 and traditionally attended by the President of the United States, who delivers an address, the Lebanon National Prayer Dinner seeks to bring leaders together beyond political, religious, and social differences in a spirit of prayer, friendship, and mutual respect.
The inaugural gathering was an extraordinary demonstration of what can happen when people who may disagree on many things choose to come together, build genuine relationships, and seek common ground.
