Ramy Taleb is a Lebanese Christian leader, educator, and peacebuilder who has spent more than 20 years working at the intersection of faith, reconciliation, and community transformation. He is the Co-Founder and Director of Al Shabiba Risala (Youth for the Message), a movement in Lebanon committed to nurturing peace, reconciliation, and holistic discipleship among youth, families, and communities shaped by conflict. Ramy also serves as Acting Dean of the College of Humanities and International Studies at the University of the Nations (YWAM) in the Middle East, where he mentors emerging leaders and teaches on biblical reconciliation, peacebuilding, and transformational leadership.

Having spent five years living and working in Northern Ireland, alongside decades of engagement in Lebanon, Ramy brings a deeply relational and cross-cultural perspective to questions of conflict, identity, faith, and healing in divided societies. Through teaching, speaking, and community engagement, he equips Christian leaders and communities to embody the Gospel of peace with humility, courage, and practical solidarity amid social and political tensions.

Ramy serves alongside his wife Roula Geryes Taleb, a peacebuilder, author, and educator.

They live in Lebanon with their two children, Jonathan and Debora, and share a deep commitment to cultivating just peace and resilient communities across Lebanon and the wider Middle East.
