Shadi was born and raised in the Middle East. Having carried a strong conviction since childhood to serve the Lord through his life, he left his career as a medical doctor to pursue this passion. He has worked in international ministry contexts for more than twenty-five years, mobilising prayer within and for the nations and people of the Middle East. One of his great joys, apart from fathering his own children, is seeing young people equipped and commissioned to accomplish all that God has destined for their lives. He currently lives in Europe with his wife and their children.
