Ramadan

I went to the local Muslim mosque tonight to attend their Ramadan celebration and

dinner.

What a great experience,

what nice people,

what amazing food!

I'm wondering what you liked and how it was being there.... what your thoughts and insights were.

Michell,

I loved the opportunity to connect with and talk to people who are not believers, who in fact believe something completely different. I love the fact that it feeds my passion for evangelism. I love the people. They are great people who simply don't know the truth. It makes me pray for them, that God would open their eyes. 2 Cor. 4:4 is the problem they face and they don't even know it. And, shame on me, I love the food. Great foods and a great visit. A side note- one of the things you need to know about eastern culture is that you have to turn down their offer of more food three times before they stop trying. It was fun to see that happen and the deference that is part of that exchange. It was great to know another evangelical church nearby is trying to reach them as well. I'm excited to be connected with these wonderful people who God loves and died for. There's a few things that come to my little mind in these two minutes.
