He is known as the prophet Isa. Mary appears also.

It was Thanksgiving, and if the clients listened to a gospel presentation they could access a Thanksgiving hamper – including a turkey.

That is because, as Pastor Carel Geleynse reminded me in a recent devotional (and with credit to Andy Kuyvenhoven), the story is inconclusive.

The actual name of this approach is called the insider movement. This methodology came about in an effort to help Muslims remain in their families and communities in order to be a gospel witness right where they live.

In this form it is the holiest document that they have, it cannot be translated and must remain in Arabic.
