Sometimes you run across a story that must be retold. That’s the case with Rawan Osman, who was born in Damascus, raised in Lebanon to a Shi’ite Muslim mother and a Sunni Muslim father. That in itself is extraordinary. Shi’ites and Sunnis hate one another. Not only that, the city in which she grew up was a Hezbollah stronghold. Rawan grew up being taught nothing but hate for Jews.

Yet the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had other plans! She has converted to Judaism and is a social media influencer, filled with the truth of Torah (in essence, the Old Testament) and has the clearest grasp of what’s happening in the Middle East of anyone!

Friends, spend an hour today hearing Rawan’s story and her perspective on the Middle East. You will not only be in awe of God’s grace toward her, but also educated in things we don’t often consider here in the west. Enjoy!
