KP is trying to initiate a dialogue with the imam of the local mosque.  “I have not received a reply from the Islamic Center of Golden. I will call today, but I need wisdom to know what to say!! Would you pray for that? ‘AIS’, the imam, replied to my emails and we had a good, long phone conversation. He is (mis)-using the Gospels to make incorrect points about Jesus for his doctoral dissertation. Would you please pray that: 1) I will be able to direct him into proper understanding of the Gospel stories he is using. Also, 2) that God will use His word to show “AIS” who Jesus really is. I plan to email “AIS” again today.”
Thank you so much for your prayers!
