About John

John Kamal Hanna's life was marked by loss, addiction, and adversity. After losing his father at a young age, John turned to substance abuse to escape his pain. The addiction quickly consumed him, leaving his life in ruins. Yet, deep within, a flicker of hope remained—his father’s faith whispered that he had the strength to overcome.

With the love of his family and professional help, John began his journey toward recovery. It wasn’t easy—his path was filled with challenges and setbacks—but through faith and determination, he found healing in Christ and was eventually ordained a Pastor.

John’s story is a testament to the power of faith and resilience. Even in the face of immense loss and struggle, he triumphed. Though his life ended tragically in 2005, his legacy of love and service continues to inspire. You can read more about John's journey in "The Beginning Starts at the End" by Caroline Hanna Guirgis.
