This course is important for those serving God in the Arab world because it removes their attention from their selves and turns it to God’s work, to God’s Kingdom, and to God’s labor. When we commit to a life of faith, we are continually transformed into His image as we identify with the needs of one another. The Arab world needs such leaders to be a witness for our living and loving God, the God of Hope.
It has been a humbling experience teaching this course. I have thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the students, and my life has been richly blessed by reading their prayers, devotions, journals, and reflections, which were part of their assignments. Their dedication to grow in their journey with the Lord and to be His disciples, no matter what, is inspiring.
