Building Bridges Seminar and Testimony Evening

Seminar: Engaging with those from a Muslim background.

1st of March, 10:30-12, St. Andrew’s

Join Paul Philips from Frontiers to learn more about how to respectfully engage with those from a Muslim background on matters of faith. This promises to be a chance to stretch your mind and warm your heart. Well-informed, practical, and prayerful – this is a seminar not to miss out on! Paul Philips and his wife Katie (as well as 4 young children) spent 11 years working in the Middle East, firstly in Lebanon and then Egypt sharing Jesus with every kind of Muslim one could image; secular, devout and even fanatical ones! He now spends most of his time training people to go and with love and respect invite Muslims to know Jesus.
