My Story

John lives in the historic city of Alexandria, Egypt, with his parents and sister. Life by the Mediterranean Sea is full of beauty and history, but it also comes with its challenges — especially for Christian families like his, who are part of a small minority in Egypt.

School is an important part of John’s day, and he especially enjoys his Arabic class! English can be a little tough sometimes, but he’s determined to keep learning. When school is out, you’ll probably find him on the soccer field — it’s his favorite sport, and he dreams of becoming a soccer star like his hero, Lionel Messi.

Some of John’s favorite things include the color green, dogs, and a big plate of pasta (his ultimate comfort food!). At home, he helps out by tidying his room and keeping his space clean — always doing his part to support his family.

Alexandria is a city rich in history, once home to ancient wonders like the famous lighthouse and library. But for many families here, life today is far from easy. Jobs can be hard to find, and children like John often face limited access to resources and opportunities.

Sponsorship can make a lasting difference in John’s life — helping him grow in his education, health, and confidence. Even in difficult moments, John finds peace in knowing that God sees him, loves him, and has a good plan for his future.
