Summary
Highlights
Nadala describes his upbringing in Syria in a strict Muslim home, where his father was a Sheikh. He was sent to an Islamic school to prepare him to be a leader.
At 13, Nadala left home. He engaged in activities forbidden in Islam but found no happiness and felt a void in his heart which led to depression and fear.
Nadala, contemplating suicide, prayed to God and experienced a vision of Jesus who identified himself. This encounter removed a heavy burden from him and led to a profound sleep and a changed perspective.
Through an online Christian website, Nadala was encouraged to read the New Testament. He declared his belief in Jesus and began online discipleship, eventually joining a local church.
Nadala's family reacted violently to his conversion, with his father ordering his death. He has survived multiple attempts on his life.
Nadala's older brother also converted to Christianity, leading to further conflict with their father, who expected him to join the Jihad against ISIS.
Nadala immigrated to Canada and started two churches among Arab and Muslim people. He also founded Voice of Faith, an online radio ministry reaching millions, and seeing conversions monthly.
Nadala requests prayers for his and his wife's health, as well as for the expansion of Voice of Faith to stream 24/7 and to reach more people with the gospel.
