Story
Christian was born into a loving family in Taalabaya, Lebanon, where peace and affection filled their home. With her parents, grandmother, and brother, Christian’s upbringing was grounded in faith, attending weekly masses at their liturgical church. Initially enrolled in a prestigious private school, Christian’s education shifted amidst the turmoil of war, necessitating a move to a local public school near Zahle.
After completing her studies, Christian pursued a dual major in Political Sciences and Social Education at university, graduating with distinction in 2005. She embarked on a teaching career at The Lebanese Canadian School before transitioning to entrepreneurship, founding a successful clothing store in 2007.
In 2008, fate intervened when George, a client at her store and a member of the Internal Defense, caught Christian’s eye. Their courtship blossomed over two years, leading to a joyous union. Blessed with two daughters, the couple invested in a home of their own.
However, the economic downturn of 2019 plunged them into financial distress, wiping out their savings. With George’s salary barely covering basic expenses, Christian made the difficult decision to reenter the workforce after closing her business to care for her children.
A chance encounter at her daughters’ school led Christian to Hope Evangelical Church, where she was warmly welcomed by the pastor. Despite initial reservations, Christian embraced the fellowship and found solace in the community’s support during her trials. Through their prayers and encouragement, Christian’s faith deepened, leading her to dedicate her life to the Lord.
Grateful for the love and assistance she received, Christian expresses her heartfelt appreciation. “I thank you for your care, both emotional and material,” she shares. “I thank the Lord for using you to guide me on this journey of faith.”
As Christian continues to walk in the light of God’s word, let us lift her in prayer, asking for blessings upon her path and growth in her spiritual journey.
