Musings of a Recovering Lutheran: Witnesses to the faith: Dearborn, MI 
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 

     Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? 

Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Witnesses to the faith: Dearborn, MI


Christian missionaries Negeen Mayel, Nabeel Qureshi, Paul Rezkalla, and David Wood are facing charges for proselytizing at the at the Arab International Festival in Dearborn, Michigan. Dearborn is known for its large Muslim community.

Many Muslim countries have harsh laws against Christians engaging in "proselytizing". In some places such as Egypt merely trying to bring a Bible into the country is enough to land you in prison. Apparently the authorities in Dearborn have decided to immitate the spirit of these laws, if not the letter.

It should be noted that the secular media is often deeply hostile towards Christianity. Care should be taken when reading any news story involving Christians such as this one.
