Around 1820, the encounter of Assaad Shidyaq with Jonas King, a missionary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, was to lead him to become Protestant.
He revised and translated into modern Greek sixteen volumes, among which were Baxter's Saints' Rest and Lyman Beecher's Sermons on Intemperance.

To prepare himself for his missionary duties outside the United States, he had gone to Paris and studied Arabic under De Sacy.

King was then temporarily released, and in the following summer George P. Marsh, then minister to Turkey, was charged by the U. S. government with the special investigation of his case, and also to look into King's title to a lot of land, the use of which he had been deprived of by the Greek government for 20 years with no compensation.
In 1828, with eight ladies, she organized the Greek relief mission, and sent Jonas King to Greece to distribute supplies.
He was liberal and tolerant to the different dogmas and became friend with Jonas King, the controversial Protestant missionary in Greece.
