Sami is a global citizen with vast experience in refugee and immigrant communities. He spent the majority of his childhood and young adult years in the Middle East. He&#8217;s lived in Jordan, Cyprus, Egypt and then India &#8211; before completing college in the United States.<br \/>\n\u200b<br \/>\nSami has a BA in International Development from Wheaton College. And he holds an MBA from the University of Texas at El Paso. Sami serves on the international board of directors of Micah Global and on the global connections committee of the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) &#8211; networks striving for flourishing communities free from poverty and injustice. He helped form a number of local and regional groups focused on poverty alleviation and bridge-building in the business, community development and faith sectors. Sami&#8217;s driving motivation is to join others, close and far, in bridging divides and moving toward reconciliation with God, his neighbors and the rest of creation.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n\u200bSami DiPasquale engages groups worldwide with profound insights on global migration, peace building, embodied faith, and narrative change. He explores the forces driving migration, the impact of living one&#8217;s beliefs, and the power of storytelling to shift perceptions and foster social transformation.<\/strong>\n\t<p>A Sami le encanta aprender m\u00e1s sobre sus vecinos y la regi\u00f3n fronteriza, cruzar la frontera para ir a Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez a comer tacos, hacer viajes de mochilero a las monta\u00f1as, visitar la peque\u00f1a granja de la que \u00e9l y su esposa son socios a larga distancia, so\u00f1ar con nuevos planes empresariales y de creaci\u00f3n de empleo, ayudar a dirigir viajes a Oriente Medio o descubrir cafeter\u00edas y teter\u00edas en ciudades desconocidas de todo el mundo.
