Yesterday, our entire team took part in Sharing the Hope seminar with speaker Fouad Masri. It was absolutely incredible! We learned about the history of Muhammed and the Muslim religion as well as ways to bridge the gap relationally and religiously with Muslims. There was soooo much information, the week and a half we have left before we leave will not be enough to absorb it all. The main thing we learned was to Relax!.... God is on the throne. It is our job to share and be an ambassador, not a converter. Sharing your faith is as easy as having a friendly conversation.
Fouad is a part of the Crescent Project and I encourage all who read this to check out their website at http://www.crescentproject.org/ There are books available from their online bookstore as well as the incredible Bridges program for small groups.
The whole team is getting psyched about going and we are ready to see what incredible situations we will find ourselves in!
