Lina is a straight-up powerhouse. She prowls on the stage, never stays still, and launches one truth bomb after another. She has a seemingly endless store of energy and her passion is contagious.
Lina AbuJamra is a Pediatric ER doctor and founder of Living with Power Ministries. Her deepest desire is to help people live with power by connecting Biblical answers to everyday life. She uses the same skills serving patients in the ER as she does helping people build their faith and manage critical decisions.
Lina’s most recent work has taken her back to the Middle East and her birth country, Lebanon, where she is provides medical care for Syrian refugees.
Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Lina now calls Chicago home. She is single and a huge Packers fan—not that the two are connected. Lina loves her coffee black and her iPhone always.
Deeply Rooted is two months from today!! We’re so excited to announce our speakers for May and show you our new video.
