May Update - Partnership Program

Hello friends and family,

Watch My First Video Update Here! 

Greetings in Jesus' name, I hope this update finds you well! The spring semester is now over and I am officially finished with my first year of seminary. I have successfully made it to the finish line only by God's grace. This has been a long, challenging and rewarding semester. I have grown and learned a lot about God and myself. I am excited that summer is quickly approaching and have a few things I'd like to share.

This week I started a new job at the seminary. I work alongside the Scholarship and Development faculty and will therefore stay on campus most of the summer. I will also be taking two summer classes, Pastoral Counseling and Exegesis of Mark, which I ask your prayers for. 

I recently had the chance to serve at the Boston 2020 Vision - March for Jesus, at the Boston City Hall Plaza. I lead worship with a friend of mine there and we saw hundreds show up to worship Jesus. This weekend I am also blessed with another great opportunity as I will be preaching at the Arabic Baptist Church of D.C.'s May Conference. I am also excited to spend time with my brother this summer until he starts school again in the Fall at Moody.

Please pray for my ministry this weekend, that the Lord would give me the words to say and that He would use me at the conference. I would also ask for prayers concerning my summer semester for the classes I will be taking, as well as for my new job. And please pray for my fundraising as well; I will be raising support for this next year of my Partnership Scholarship the next few months. Thanks for your encouragement and support, may the Lord richly bless you!

In Christ,
-Fady
