    Bobby having a hour long conversation on who Jesus is with Mohammed who is Muslim. Mohammed owns the gyro store and recognize the divine appointment that he wasn’t suppose to be there that day and Bobby forgot his lunch at the church building. Mohammed had many questions which Bobby answered.

    Mohammed is starting to see Jesus is God. They exchanged phone numbers and Mohammed will read the gospel of John with an open mind and asking God to show him. 

    Button

    We believe Mohammed is genuine in wanting to truly know who God is. Bobby in all his years witnessing to Muslims has never seen such an open heart to truth with a meek spirit. Please pray for Mohammed salvation.
