Purim & Nowruz Celebration-2024

On March 23, 2024, the Salam community came together to commemorate two significant cultural events – Nowruz and Purim.

In the early part of the day, a group from the Salam ministry joined hands with our Messianic brothers and sisters from the New Jerusalem House Of Prayer in Carol Stream, IL, to celebrate Purim.

The festival finds its roots in the book of Esther, which reveals how God intervened behind the scenes to save His people from a catastrophe.

God’s enduring faithfulness in saving and sustaining the Jewish people through the ages reassures us of His unwavering commitment to all His promises.

At 6:00 pm, the Salam Christian Fellowship, with the support of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in St. Charles, IL, hosted a dinner event to celebrate Nowruz (Persian New Year ).

Nowruz, a festival of great importance to Middle Eastern communities from Egypt to Afghanistan, symbolizes the renewal of life, hope, and unity.

A month ago, Hassan came back to the U.S from South Iraq with a new perspective on things after he had stayed two years in the Middle East. He said that he missed Salam a lot there, which made him go to a local Catholic church in the neighborhood that had only seven people. He emphasized that he wants to become Christian, irrespective of the life threat that it may incur.

After reading the catechism and answering all his questions, Hassan said that he was ready to be baptized, at the age of 66…a bit older than Nicodemus. With God all things are possible.
