Hani James grew up in Iraq. Serving in more than one Iraqi war left him jaded and angry at God. "If anyone was injured, we cannot save them. I started to have doubts about God and blame Him."

Hani left Iraq and the faith. "I'm asking you God, and you're not answering." He searched for the answers in history and other religions but found no answers.

Everything changed for Hani when his daughter begged him to hear a preacher one Sunday. The preacher's message seemed to be directed specifically at Hani, answering many questions he had about God.
Hani was stunned and asked the preacher, who confessed the Holy Spirit had him change his sermon to help Hani. And the preacher told Hani that, just like the paralytic in the Bible message that Sunday, four friends would bring him to the feet of Jesus.

Friend number four was the man on the other line of the phone.

Hani gave his life to Christ and later became an online evangelist. Learn what that means, and check out our shownotes to find Christian organizations that use online evangelists.

Today's Sendoff features online evangelist Sharon Ogden reading Psalm 73 in Hani's honor.
