Each of us have a story. Each of us have a story that has meaning. Each of us have a story that connects us to one another. Our stories, our life stories, have power. They have the power to connect, to throw down obstacles, to raise up bridges, to restore community, to redeem relationships.
Stories are the key to understanding. At home, staring at a picture of a different face in an unknown land, I may be tempted to feel distance. I may be tempted to feel I don't connect, I can't connect, maybe I won't connect. But behind that face is a story, a story of a life lived and being lived in ways that are at once both unique and so disarmingly similar to my own.
Christians and Ismailis can be known by each other, can be understood by each other. If we'll listen to each other and be vulnerable with each other, then we can meet each others' stories.
I want to meet those stories. Let's meet them together. Connect with people all over the world as you read Meet My Story, here.
