Summary

Selena grew up in the home of a pastor in the Middle East. Today she's working among Muslim people in the US—including refugees from the Middle East. Selena has seen firsthand that Muslims who choose to follow Christ face persecution, even in the United States. Selena will share how Christians in Lebanon have responded as their country has been flooded with refugees, and encourage American Christians with how we can respond to Muslims and refugees that we encounter here in the US. Finally, she'll equip us to pray for the church in Lebanon, and for outreach ministries to Muslims right here in the US.
