God is not far away from any one of us
I dreamed of starting a publishing house. In many fields there are no good books in Arabic. The church contributes little to issues facing our society. I wanted to use our printing business to help the church do its part by publishing books that are really needed.
Building bridges, not walls
My mother didn’t want me to join a “cult” and wouldn’t allow me to attend the services or meetings. But, thanks to God, after some time she stopped arguing with me. Jesus had changed me and my mother noticed the difference.
He uses my flaws, failures and scars
I weep and rage when I see people in need. I fume when I see people disrespect their elders. I used to dream of becoming Prime Minister so I could help the poor and eliminate Christians.
Look what God has done!
Misfortune and illness made my family even poorer than our neighbours. My younger sister was born with deformed hands and feet. We call her Kut, which means “crooked.” Someone—usually me—was always sick. The spirits were punishing us. We sacrificed all our chickens, ducks and pigs to the spirits. The shaman even told us to abandon our house.
