Impact Story
Jad, a young Syrian, has been watching programs produced by our partners for many years. During this time, he was deeply moved by the messages conveyed in the programs and made a decision to believe in Christ. Since his family is unaware of his conversion, he can only privately share his feelings with us.
Jad shared how the program content helped him through many painful years, including during his abduction by armed militants in 2015. He found solace in remembering the hymns sung during worship programs. Subsequently, our partners conveyed to him prayers from people worldwide, wishing him peace.
Jad said, ‘You cannot imagine the significance of these messages in my life, to the point where I couldn’t hold back my tears.’ He recalled, ‘There was a moment when I felt someone holding my hand, telling me, “I am with you.” It was the first time in my life that I experienced this. I have read the messages you (our partners) sent me countless times, and each time, I cried even harder. I am grateful to the Lord for experiencing genuine love.’
