Walids Testimony...
I was raised in the Middle East. When
civil war broke out, our home was struck
during shelling and we had to move to
another city. Again our home was hit. My

I started getting involved in ministry, serving
in music and as treasurer. I was challenged
to study Homiletics at Bible College in
preparation for a preaching ministry.
Sometime later, I visited Canada and sensed
that God was calling me to ministry among
the Arabic-speaking community. God has
used us to plant a Canadian church that is
reaching this people group. We are also active in helping train and encourage leaders
and believers in the Middle East.
Walid and his wife Rima are the most recent
missionaries to join ABWE Canada. Walid
is administering our Middle East Ministry
Annual Project.
