Rwanda is called the Land of a Thousand Hills because it is a beautiful, mountainous country with rich green agriculture growing on every hillside! The people of Rwanda suffered immensely after the 1994 Genocide, but God has been at work in a mighty way ! Many people have been reconciled to each other...and to Jesus!

As a former Muslim, born and raised in the Middle East. I grew up in a very strict Muslim family and community where 90% of the population was Muslim. After the loss of my grandmother, God miraculously brought healing to my heart which began my journey toward Christ.

The cost I had to pay for becoming a follower of Christ has been high. But despite harsh rejection from my Muslim family and danger from the Muslim community—to whose way of life  is now a threat—I  remains passionate about reaching the lost with the hope I have found in Christ.

As a former Muslim woman, I  has been able to use my knowledge to build authentic connections with Muslim women, reaching out to them in a sensitive, effective way. I am able to help Christian audiences understand women in Islamic countries, as well as the Muslim culture and religion. My goal is to help Christians move from fear to love and compassion in their approach to Muslims, so that they, too, can love as Christ does. My ministry is essential to Christian leaders, ministers, and anyone who wants to learn to love and understand Muslims.

Currently I am serving as field  missionary with Middle East Central Asia team at E3 Partners ministry in Plano, TX. As a leader of the ministry, I helps to equip and engage churches and individuals in outreach to Muslims.
