Raised in a devout Muslim family [in Yemen], John Ghanim embarked on a pilgrimage to Mecca which left him feeling the lack of meaning in Islam. He later became a refugee in Greece where someone shared Jesus with him, eventually leading him to Christ.
Since John’s public declaration of Christ, his life has been in danger, which unfortunately is very common for any Muslim who coverts to Christianity. In Yemen, conversion is against the law and punishable by death.
Despite these challenges, John has become a prominent Christian influencer and evangelist on social media, sharing his testimony and advocating for religious freedom.
Read the short article and watch John tell his story.
Speaking of Mecca, read or listen to a report about Saudi Arabia from INcontext International. It, too, includes a short video. See below.
