Hey there! My name is Fady Ghobrial, and I love Jesus and people. I enjoy teaching the Bible, mentoring students, officiating weddings, reading, writing, cooking and helping people grow in their faith and leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a little bit more about me… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt. My family moved to Massachusetts in 2002. After my freshman year of college, at the 2009 One Name Boston Conference, I experienced a radical encounter with Jesus, after which I quickly sensed a call to ministry and began serving at the Arabic Baptist Church of Boston, where I was later ordained and served as one of the pastors for 8 years.

I have a Master of Divinity degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and I’m ordained with the Baptist Churches of New England. I’m super passionate about teaching scripture and helping people grow in their faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2017, I have served as Ministry Fellow with Christian Union at Harvard, a Christian leadership development organization, where I teach Bible courses, coach leaders and disciples student. I’m an avid reader of books and an enthusiastic cook – both traits I picked up from my dad, who is a chef and book lover. I’m happily married to my lovely wife Ren\u00e9e, who also serves in full time ministry.

My work has been featured in Christianity Today, The TriState Voice<\/a>, The Baptist Churches of New England<\/a> and Christian Union America<\/a>. I’m also the creator and host of the Following Jesus in College & Beyond<\/em> podcast<\/a>. You can read my testimony at Christianity Today here<\/a>, and at CBN’s The 700 Club here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
