Pastor Mansour Youssef
Pastor Mansour Youssef has been part of the Faith Baptist Church family since childhood. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, he came to Sydney with his family in 1977 after fleeing their war-torn homeland. He gratefully sees God’s hand in bringing them to Australia, where he heard the gospel and trusted Jesus Christ as his Saviour at the age of nine.
From the age of sixteen, Mansour had a desire to serve the Lord. His journey included thirty years in business, through which God shaped his leadership and deepened his love for people. After serving in the church’s ministry for over twenty years alongside his wife, Sharon, and their children, Jeremy, Ryan and Larissa, he became pastor in 2018.
Mansour’s heart is to help people know Christ, find encouragement in God’s Word, and grow together as a church family.

Full-time ministry
In March 2018, he followed God’s calling and surrendered to full-time ministry as the pastor of Faith Baptist Church. Pastor Mansour Youssef acknowledged that this was the Lord’s doing in His life, and he gives thanks to Jesus Christ for enabling him and counting him faithful; putting him in the ministry.
His life purpose
His life purpose is to be an example while serving his generation. As a man of God, he strives to glorify God by persistently depending on the Holy Spirit, faithfully loving his family, generously giving of his resources, pointedly advancing the gospel, faithfully preaching the Bible and compassionately nurturing people to follow Jesus Christ.
With his wife Sharon
Pastor Mansour and Sharon serve together with joy, trusting that God, who began a good work in their lives, will faithfully carry it on until the day they see Jesus face to face.
