LONG BEACH, Calif.–Gia Chacon, 23, grew up in a devout Christian household in Laguna Niguel, California, with “one foot planted in the world and one foot planted in faith,” she told The Epoch Times.
She didn’t always envision her life dedicated to humanitarian efforts, but that calling came to her during a trip to Egypt with her grandmother to provide aid to Christians persecuted for their faith.
