Evangelist to the Muslims

Over at the Point, Diane Singer writes about Father Zakaria Botros and asks if he is a Billy Graham to the Muslims?

Joel Rosenberg's latest report profiles Father Zakaria Botros, an Arab evangelist now in hiding in the United States because he has been targeted for assassination by al Qaeda, which put a $60 million price tag on his head. Here's why Muslims consider him so dangerous:

Using state-of-the-art satellite technology to bypass the efforts of Islamic governments to keep the gospel out of their countries, Botros is directly challenging the claims of Muhammad to be a prophet, and the claims of the Qu'ran to be God's word. He systematically deconstructs Muhammad's life, story by story, pointing out character flaws and sinful behavior. He carefully deconstructs the Qu'ran, verse by verse, citing contradictions and inconsistencies. And not only does he explain without apology what he believes is wrong with Islam, he goes on the teach Muslims from the Bible why Jesus loves them and why He is so ready to forgive them and adopt them into His family, no matter who they are or what they have done.

Sounds like someone we should all be praying for! Lord Jesus, protect this man and use him for your glory and the salvation of millions. We lift up our brothers and sisters in Muslim lands and ask for your grace, mercy and protection for them. Amen.
