This Sunday, February 7th, Pastor Wagdi Iskander will be joining us to share his story. A couple of us had the privilege of hearing his story at the Congress back in November. It is super powerful & a Sunday you definitely do not want to miss out on!
Wagdi Iskander: born in Sudan, was a Bedouin and a Muslim. He received his education in Sudan. After years of resisting God and thanks to the tireless witness of a university classmate, Wagdi became a new creature in Jesus Christ in 1985. Consequently, he was disowned by his Muslim family and spent time in prison, facing death. He came to Canada in 1988 as a student at Prairie Bible College and then attended Southern Baptist Seminary. He later founded and pastored a Sudanese Church in Edmonton. He also has been involved in the Arabic ministry and an Arabic radio program. He has traveled extensively with Campus for Christ in outreach, leadership training and church planting among refugees worldwide. Wadgi, his wife and his two children now live in Calgary where Wagdi serves as pastor of Arabic Church of Calgary (C&MA)
