Somebody Would Like to Talk to You...
I often receive a message similar to that when I start up my computer's chat program. It means that someone new to me wishes to talk--usually about spiritual matters. I don't know where they live, whether they are male or female, or what their hidden agenda might be. Recently I entered into conversation with a university student from Cairo, Egypt whom I will call "Moose" for now. Moose turned out to be an articulate and intelligent Muslim in his 20s looking for "validation" of the Christian message. Since first meeting him online about 2 weeks ago, we have had some great open discussions about important gospel truth.

People like Moose find out how to contact me by visiting the "Who is Isa al-Masih?" website I now operate (Isa al-Masih is the Muslim way of saying Jesus Christ). I pray that God will give Moose eyes to see Jesus Christ as only Lord and Savior. Please pray for Moose and others like him.

Little by Little Every Day
In our April update we mentioned that membership in our online Bible Correspondence School for Muslims had reached 98. We are happy to report that since then membership has grown to 115. The Al-Kitab Scripture Research Institute, as the Bible school is called, continues to be visited by thousands of web-surfing seekers from all around the world. Some of those casual visitors choose to look into Scripture truth more deeply and so take out free membership to gain access to all the content of our website. Continue to pray for the members of Al-Kitab as they read the Bible verses, lessons, and study questions.

Something New Today
Karen's goal is to attempt something new every day in her recovery from her leg muscle injury. Within the last couple of weeks she gladly graduated from crutches and canes and learned how to climb the stairs in our house. After two months, we are finally sleeping in our own second-floor bedroom again. Yesterday, Karen drove a car for the first time since the injury. That should free me up from some of the chauffering I've had to do to help out. Who knows what Karen will attempt today! Thank you for praying for her recovery.

We appreciate you more than we can express. Thank you for your encouragement!

Yours in Christ,

George for all
