Issa was a Muslim before arriving at the orphanage, but Pastor Hassan shared Christ's love with him and Issa opened his heart to embrace Christ. Issa loves to play soccer, read, draw, and to offer guidance to others. He desires to preach the Word of God and to lead by example. He would like to become a lawyer when he gets older. His favorite verse is Matthew 7:7, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
