Hisham Kamel was born in Cairo, Egypt on June 5, 1957. He grew up with two brothers and a sister in a home where his father was an Evangelical Christian (Presbyterian) lay leader.
His father started a church in their home at which Hisham accepted Christ at the age of 13. His father passed away two years later, but the church continued and thrives today in Cairo.
After finishing college and serving in the Egyptian armed forces, he was ordained as well as married in 1984. He served as the Superintendent of Sunday Schools for the Presbyterian Church of Egypt from 1984-1988.
He came to Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif. in 1988 to enrich his ministry by studying communications. Working on his master’s degree in Theology, he was mentored by Dr. Viggo Sogaard, professor of communications. It was Dr. Sogaard who suggested that his thesis be on reaching Muslims.
Challenged spiritually and intellectually by the message of his own thesis, he studied missiology at Fuller under Dr. Dudley Woodbury.
Upon graduation, he received offers from several highly respected ministries but he continued to pray earnestly as to what he should do to best utilize his gifts and knowledge of communications to minister to Muslims.
Ray Carlson of Glenray Communications, a distributor of Christian films, mentored his efforts at production.
Dr. Kamel decided in 1992 to found the Arabic Communication Center.
