Omar is a college student who grew up in a conservative Shia Muslim family. As a book seller, he accepted Christ into his life when he connected with a church organizing at a book tent in 2019. Though initially accepted by his immediate family, one of his family members was a leader in a terrorist group and threatened to kill him. Omar was even beaten while distributing Bibles.
