1. Where did you grow up?
Lebanon.
2. What is your favorite Bible verse, book or story? Why?
Acts 13:22 is one of my favorites.

3. What is your favorite movie? Why?
I don’t have a specific favorite, but I like to watch movies and TV series that have a plot that revolves around the U.S. White House and its politics.
It makes me feel good to see leaders that have to function in much more stressful conditions than mine.

The Apostle Paul, Barnabas and Mary, the mother of Jesus.
