WHO WE ARE

About Us Working Faith USA

Working Faith USA was established in 2025 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization based in Tennessee, serving in partnership with Working Faith Charitable Association in Lebanon. Our mission is to reach out to communities in need with compassion, dignity, and the love of God.

Our work began in Lebanon through the “Church of God” – Dora Beirut, where local volunteers embraced the vision and stepped forward with limited resources to provide essential help. Since then, our partnership between the U.S. and Lebanon has continued to grow, allowing us to expand programs, connect resources, and strengthen communities across borders.

We offer social services to individuals and families facing economic hardship—regardless of religious background—showing God’s love through practical action. Programs include Kids, Ladies, and Medical Ministries, as well as the monthly distribution of food rations and other ongoing initiatives.

Our Leadership

We operate under the guidance of two boards—one in the United States and one in Lebanon—working together to oversee strategy, stewardship, and community impact.

Who we are Working Faith-Lebanon

Working Faith is a nonprofit organization – founded by Pastor Youssef (Josef) Zouroub in 2012 and was legalized under the Registration # 335 –aiming at reaching out to needing communities.

This initiative started with volunteering members from “Church of God” – Dora Beirut Lebanon who adopted the vision and decided to proceed with few available resources.

Our basic activities are: offering social services to individuals and families who are facing economic hardship. We help people without any religious discrimination and show God’s love through working faith.

The Church of God – Dora Beirut Lebanon building has been hosting Working Faith Organization to realize its programs namely: Kids, Ladies, and Medical Ministries and distribution of food rations on monthly basis among other upcoming projects.

In 2019, a mission center was established for the purpose of welcoming local and foreign groups of volunteers that also help realize Working Faith operational projects in the South of Lebanon, namely in the Blue Line area at the Lebanese Southern border since our sphere of influence grew bigger in that area and we became increasingly welcomed by the community.

We do not only function by food and other provisions but by equipping the community with spiritual formation and skills that can transform their lives through:

Bible study and discipleship
Spiritual and psychological counseling
Community medical care
Children’s entertainment and educational activities and sponsorship.
Farming and vocational activities to help people generate both food and income for their families.

… only faith working through love. Gal 5:6

We believe that, together with our contributors, we can work towards giving hope and creating a better future. Our combined efforts can make a significant impact and bring positive change to the community.
