Eilaboun- Linga

Rose Obeid shared a devotional from 1 Samuel 25 about Abigail and her three types of inner beauty: her loving heart, her wisdom and her godly speech. The Lord is My Banner praise team, led by Pastor Khaled Dalle, led the praise and worship followed by Shamaa, a Moroccan Christian singer who shared her testimony and sang.

Pastor Nizar Shaheen, director of Light for All Nations Ministry, preached from 1 Samuel about the character of Hannah. This was followed by an altar call for all the women, who flooded the stage praying for God’s healing mercy.

All ministers wives were welcomed to the front to participate in cutting a cake prepared for the occasion. Katy Touma followed this with a bible reading. The program ended with a catered lunch and a gift for each mother.
