Edit ProfileCareer
He is currently the host of the TBN show Reflections. He converted around the age of 15, but kept it a secret from those around him. In 2000 the family moved back to the United States.
After a few years he revealed his conversion to his father, who disowned him.
Farraj then moved to Alabama to seek the help of the family that had converted him while living in Palestine. He briefly considered changing his name to Adam, however he has said he believes God sent a message to him to "stop running from your culture" soon afterwards, which caused him to change his mind.
Today he is the televangelist for the satellite broadcast Trinity Broadcasting Network show Reflections, which reaches six different satellite networks and the full TBN network. The television show is broadcast in both English and Arabic.
He has said that he believes "Christian media is so crucial because it’s one of the most powerful ways to preach in anti-Christian nations".
