Faith Story
Sahar was raised in Saudi Arabia in a devout Shia family. She believed and faithfully practiced Islam. When she was seven years old, her dad passed away. Despite all the hardships she was facing, she had many encounters with Jesus as a little girl. Her family had zeal for Islam, and they raised her to follow the message of Shia Islam. In 2006, she came to the U.S. as an International student and was introduced to the word of God and the truth of who Jesus is while attending university. Six years later, she placed her faith in Christ and started immediately ministering to others in a number of different ways. Sahar has a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management and Information Systems from the California State University system.

She also oversees multiple websites and social media pages, managing all of the audio and visual production as well as the digital responders who engage with spiritual seekers who reach out.
Discipling Women
