Hotel Talk with Farah Shammas: Episode 1...

Farah Shammas
About this episode

Rita El-Mounayer is the CEO of Sat-7 which has a mission to see a growing Church in the Middle East and North Africa, confident in Christian faith and witness, serving the community and contributing to the good of society and culture. She talks about her own unbelievable start in life, in war torn Lebanon, her mother passing away when she was just 7 and her father fighting with the Christian militia, what this meant to her and how she found God.
Believe it or not this is not an episode however based solely on religion but rather humanity, love and hope. In so many interviews, one of the few that made me cry. A must listen to feel alive and appreciate life. Enjoy.
