Raised in a devout Muslim environment, he embarked on a profound spiritual journey that led him to Christianity. During a pilgrimage to Mecca, John began questioning his faith, ultimately leading to his conversion to Christianity while residing as a refugee in Greece. His public declaration of faith resulted in significant personal sacrifices, including estrangement from his family and exile from his homeland.
