I've read Steve's book and attended his workshop. Also I had the privilege of standing in the hall in Bishkek where he gave the series of Muslim orientated lectures in Kyrgyzstan. Recently, he has been involved with a special outreach in Australia at a Mosque there, with two young Bible Workers who have been working in Michigan, but are from Austalia. Also, Steve has been helping with Muslim orientated lectures on LLBN.

Working for Muslims has become a special interest for me. I volunteer with Gospel Outreach in charge of the Deaf Ministry Dept. However, I've realized that if 22% of the world is Muslim, then 22% of the world's "Deaf"are also Muslim. Thus, I need to be highly aware of this challenge.

There are many books on the subject available - some better than others. Dr. Darnell's lectures are also very helpful to get a closer view of their religion from an Adventist perspective. (Dr. Darnell has now passed away)

Currently I'm about 2/3rds of the way through the Koran. It basically revolves around these concepts: There is only one God, not several. God is merciful and if you have performed enough 'good deeds' and tried to live a good life, on the day of Final Judgment, God will probably allow you into Paradise. Paradise is beautiful gardens with flowing streams, and peace. If you have not listened to the 'warnings' from God, then at the resurreciton you will be raised, judged and go to a terrible hell full of torture. Like SDA's, they do beleive in a resurrection, and that God will reconstruct you again.

"Gerald" in a series of Farsi language TV programs is being beamed into the Middle East. Apparently he has a large following there. He is a lay pastor specializing in Muslim Ministry.
