Nadim Fouad Warsal went home to be with the Lord late Monday evening, July 13, 2026.  The Lord, as always, is gracious in his goodness, his timing, and his sovereignty and Nadim was able to have a beautiful and peaceful homegoing, one where he was comfortable, pain-free, and surrounded by those he loved best and loved him in return deeply.   His wife, his children and grandchildren, and several dear friends were all able to be with him in his final hours, singing, laughing, praising God, crying, but rejoicing that he was going home to his saviour.   To God be the glory!

Nadim was a man of deep faith, deep compassion, deep kindness and endless grace.  He was always the first to listen, help, reach out, and serve those around him.  His home was always open to those in need, or missionaries passing by, or traveling friends.  The lives he impacted are legion and his legacy of service will not be forgotten.  Everywhere he went, he created a community- rooted in faith, cemented in love- humbly changing the lives of many.

Nadim was born January 20,1938 in Israel.  His father was working in the Egyptian embassy there.  In 1948 during the war, he and his family went back home to Egypt and there he remained till he emigrated to the United States shortly after he married.  Following in his father's footsteps, Nadim also worked in the Foreign Service but in the American Embassy on the financial side.  He traveled far and wide with them, working even in Saudia Arabia—oh the stories he had!!  After he and Magda came over in 1968, he remained in finance, working at various non-profit organizations and teaching cost accounting at Morgan State.  While the rest of us cringe at the thought of cost accounting, Nadim always maintained that it was the most fun part of his career.  He later went to work for the government in a linguist capacity which allowed them to live in Germany for several years.  They had the opportunity to do quite a bit of travel and had many adventures while they were over there!

He and Magda initially lived in Baltimore City, eventually moving to the Towson area where they raised their two children.  They were both incredibly active in their church- teaching, ministering, leading and serving others in a myriad of ways.

He also joined the International Christian fellowship when they first arrived—a wonderful mixture of many cultures, which then led him to form the Arabic Christian Fellowship- his own non-profit that still operates today.  Its essence is to raise funds for the poor and needy in Egypt, helping countless orphanages and hospitals, battered women's ministries, the funding of new church buildings and supporting the seminary and it various schools.

To say that he was a "rare bird" (one of his favorite expressions!) would be an incredible understatement.  He was truly one of God's elect walking amongst us and he will be sorely missed by those on this side of heaven.  But we rest in the knowledge and hope of eternal life in Jesus, and that we will be reunited once again.  He is survived by his wife, Magda, his two children, Philip and Christine, and their spouses, Susie and Jeff, along with his four precious grandchildren.

The family will receive friends at Loch Raven Presbyterian Church, 9318 Old Harford Rd., Parkville, MD 21234, on Saturday, August 15th, from 10 to 11 am, at which time a celebration of life service will begin with a luncheon to follow.
