Reset

Bonnie Sala: Arda works in Switzerland as a nurse practitioner, free to worship Jesus openly and live out her faith as she serves others, but her life wasn't always like this. I'm Bonnie Sala with Reset. Growing up in Kosovo, Arda describes living in a very oppressive environment. Fear ruled her life. She longed for freedom and dreamed of worshiping God openly without that fear. Some nights, surrounded by what felt like overwhelming darkness, she prayed through tears. Then a voice reached her in that darkness. Arda began listening to an online Christian radio station. Looking back, she says, the station became a lifeline.

The programs were like oil for my lamp, keeping the flame of hope and faith alive when everything around me felt so heavy and uncertain. Learning about God's love gave her courage to keep going. Years later, Arda moved to Switzerland in search of a freer life. She found that freedom, but it came with distance. She was now far from home, separated from familiar people, places, and the world she once knew. But the lifeline of hope in God still reaches her. Today, Arda listens to Christian devotionals online. She says they refresh her mind, strengthen her spirit, and prepare her to step into each new day with faith and purpose.

Arda's surroundings changed, her country changed, her circumstances changed, but God's truth kept finding its way to her. The Bible says, how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news. Today, good news can travel across borders and into a lonely room through something as small as a phone. You can help reach someone living in fear or far from home with that lifeline of hope.
