Evangelism Opportunity.....


Muslims and Christians at the Table: Promoting Biblical Understanding Among North American Muslims
This book gives a very good analysis of the growth of Islam in North America in context of our culture and theology. I can't find my book at the moment, but intend to read this again when I find it :-). There is a new mosque in Hoover. Another didn't get the permit to build recently. Gilbert and I attended a philanthropic fundraiser put on by one community of Islamists, the Agakahn group, ?sp who were raising money for relief in the middle east....seemed to be a very good work. Pray that we Christians will let our lights shine to the world around us and help these people created in the image of God know Him in a more personal and life-giving relationship, that they will repent and be baptized and brought into the true community of faith. Also pray that the Lord will forgive US already IN HIS COMMUNITY for our lack of enthusiasm and faithfulness, that WE will turn and DO His will (on earth as it is in heaven!). The book gives good practical tips on befriending muslims (and all others of diferent faith)...some basic guidelines for friendship evangelism.
