A Palestinian Brother in Christ Shares His Experience and Perspective: Pastor Marwan Aboul-Zelof

All Things

On this bonus episode of All Things we are taking time to listen to the experience of our Palestinian brother in Christ, Pastor Marwan Aboul-Zelof. He shares openly with us what it’s like to be a Palestinian Christian in the Middle East at this time in history.

Pastor Aboul-Zelof was born in the Middle East and has family roots throughout the region. Due to war in his birth country, his family moved to the US when he was a child. While in university, Marwan's desire grew to return to the Middle East for the sake of the gospel. He served as a pastoral intern and church planting resident with Redeemer Church of Dubai and moved to Beirut, Lebanon in 2016 to plant City Bible Church.

Marwan is married to Marci and they have two young boys. He loves to spend time with his family, is a self-proclaimed foodie and coffee connoisseur, and loves walking around and exploring Beirut.
