What resources do you recommend to share the gospel with Muslims?
The following resources are recommended by David Knauss (former missionary and friend of EPM)
1. They can be directed to Zacharia Boutros, an Egyptian Coptic priest who speaks directly to the holes in Islam. He is direct—and some say eccentric—but he is effective. He has a Middle Eastern way about him. There are videos available on Youtube.
2. Books:
Glad News!: God Loves You My Muslim Friend by Samy Tanagho
Facing the Muslim Challenge by John Gilchrist
Healing The Broken Family of Abraham: New Life for Muslims by Don McCurry

Do you have a favorite mission organization you would recommend?
I’m a pastor of a fairly new church and would like to connect our church to some other quality mission organizations. Do you have a favorite mission organization you would recommend?
Perhaps my favorite is one that flies under the radar because they devote so little to fundraising, and focus all on hands-on ministry: Action International, based in the Seattle area.
The Question of Adoption
For those interested in pursuing adoption of Haitian orphans, we want to share a few important thoughts regarding this desire. The process by which orphans will be adopted from Haiti post-earthquake is still unclear as much of the infrastructure has been wiped out. Regarding a desire to adopt a Haitian orphan—first of all, the reality of this crisis does not change the fact that the most important consideration in any adoption is obedience to God. If God is calling you to adopt from Haiti (or anywhere else for that matter) then you should pursue it. However, we must caution others to not mistake the emotional response to the devastation we see with the clear direction of God’s Spirit in our lives.
