Witnessing Faith Through Actions and Conversations

Wafa Hanna's journey from being a doctor in Egypt to requalifying and practicing in the United States is not just a testament to her resilience and dedication but also to her faith. In her interactions with patients, Wafa found natural openings to share her faith, initially fearing backlash but instead finding receptivity and curiosity, even among those from her native Muslim-majority country. Her story challenges the misconception that professional settings are off-limits for faith conversations, illustrating that genuine, respectful sharing of beliefs can enrich workplace relationships.

Two key strategies we see in Dr. Hanna's story include:

1. Seeking Openings: Observe your environment for natural opportunities to share your faith. This doesn't mean forcing conversations but being open and responsive to the moments that arise naturally.
2. Cultural Sensitivity: Wafa's background and experience in Egypt shaped her approach to discussing faith, underscoring the crucial role of cultural sensitivity and understanding in our interactions, especially when it comes to faith conversations.

Dr. Hanna exemplifies that preaching the gospel isn't just about words; it's about living out your faith in tangible ways that others notice. It's about the integrity, compassion, and distinctiveness of your actions that not only prompt curiosity but also open doors for deeper conversations about Jesus in professional settings.
