Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.2 CORINTHIANS 9:7

HELLO, I'M NOHADRA

A heart for God.
A heart for youth.

I was born and raised in Sweden, with Assyrian roots. My faith became personal when I encountered Jesus as a young adult.

I trained as a social worker and worked in social services. Then I sensed God's call to serve young people full-time through SHINE, Agape Sweden's youth movement.

MY MISSION

Meet. Share.
Grow.

SHINE is Agape Sweden's work with young people: a movement of young Christians showing Jesus' love in everyday life. Together we help young people grow in faith and share it with others.

Meet young people where they are

School groups, camps, sports, music, festivals and social media create spaces to build relationships.

Share the hope of Jesus

We want young people to hear the gospel, ask questions and discover a personal faith in Jesus.

Equip the next generation

We disciple young Christians to share their faith and find a church community where they can grow.

SHINE belongs to Agape Sweden, part of the wider movement known as Cru in the United States. Learn about SHINE

MORE THAN ONE PERSON

My calling is personal.
The mission is shared.

I am not doing this on my own. My work with young people happens within SHINE, Agape Sweden and the international Cru movement — together with colleagues, churches, volunteers, prayer partners and givers.
