A new home in Italy
A father's quiet courage
I met this father through a dear friend and missionary. He's raising two children by himself, after being forced to flee his home. When Islamic rebels demanded that he choose a side in the civil war, this dad chose instead to protect his family. They fled to Jordan as refugees, where they spent seven very difficult years struggling to survive.
Recently, He and his children were resettled in Italy, where they're learning a new language, adjusting to a new culture, and starting over once again. He is a hardworking, devoted father, determined to give his children a better future.
One of his children has significant special needs, adding to the challenges of everyday life. Between medical care, therapy, and the responsibilities of raising two teenagers on his own, this father carries a tremendous load.
But perhaps the most remarkable part of my friends story is how he came to know Christ.
While living in Jordan, he began debating Christianity online with a Muslim who had converted to Christianity. What began as a debate became a journey of salvation. Through those conversations, God began working in his heart, ultimately leading him to put his faith in Jesus Christ.
Today, this amazing and faithful dad works remotely as an Arabic translator for a well-known Christian ministry based in Colorado, while continuing to build a new life for his family in Italy.
When you book a photography session, you're helping provide for this family's everyday needs, medical care, and the opportunity to build a stable future.
