NATIONAL LEADER, SHINE SWEDENNOHADRA HEIDO
HELLO, I'M NOHADRAA heart for God.
A heart for God.
A heart for youth.
I'm 34, born and raised in Sweden with Assyrian roots from Syria. In 2014, at 22, I encountered Jesus personally through his Word.
In 2018 God called me through Isaiah 54 to become a spiritual mother to many. Today I serve full-time as national leader of SHINE in Agape Sweden — a ministry I was called to pioneer, since it did not yet exist in Sweden.

Sweden is a highly secularized nation, materially wealthy yet spiritually impoverished, where the majority grow up without knowing Jesus personally. Many young people struggle with anxiety, depression and questions about life's meaning. My heart burns to see Sweden spiritually awakened, transformed by His love, and turning back to Him.
OUR VISIONReflecting
Reflecting
God's love.
We dream of a new generation of young Christians who make God's love visible… who walk through their schools with open eyes and hearts and meet the need that exists there. A generation of young people who are there for those who no one listens to, stand with those who no one stands with, and simply speak hope into the lives of their fellow students.
Connect lost people to Jesus
Using tools like THE FOUR, we share the Gospel and help youth find Jesus and connect with a local church.
Equip them to SHINE
We disciple Christian youth, equipping them to shine God's light and share His love with others.

bigger.
Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) was founded in 1951 in the US and is known as Agape in Europe and Sweden. Today, Cru has over 25,000 staff and 500,000 volunteers in more than 191 countries.
SHINE Movement, founded in Switzerland in 2001, is Cru's Christian youth movement, active across Europe — including Spain, Germany, Portugal, Austria and Albania. I serve full-time as national leader of SHINE in Agape Sweden, helping young people discover their God-given gifts, grow in faith, and share Jesus with others.

Ministry Partner.
I'm looking for Ministry Partners to help reach young people in Sweden with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You can partner with me in three ways — through prayer, financial support, or by connecting me with others. To keep serving full-time, I need to raise $4,000 in monthly support. I encourage you to pray and seek God's guidance on how He may be leading you to partner with me!
Thank you for considering joining my Mission Team of Ministry Partners supporting Christ's work in Sweden.
