Erk Ashbee will be leading our study dealing with the challenges of Islam throughout the world. What does the Quran teach? How are Muslims coming to faith in the one true God? The CAMEL method is being used to turn thousands of Muslims to Christ. Kevin Greeson, IMB missionary, South Asia, stated: “There may not be a magic bullet for Muslim evangelism, but the CAMEL method is as close as it gets.” Learn the details of this God ordained technique.
