Friends in Christ,

I would like to invite you to join with Christians across Austin for the very EXCITING and RELEVANT Fall2006course entitled, Encountering the World of Islam (www.EncounteringIslamAustin.org). The course begins September 12, 2006 and ends December 5, 2006 . It will be offered on Tuesday evenings, 6:30pm to 9:30 p.m. in the facilities of Hyde Park Baptist Church.

Encountering the World of Islam represents an extraordinary collaboration of numerous evangelical churches and Christian organizations across the city of Austin. Many of our Austin area churches feel called to reach out to the Muslim world. Come and JOIN what God is doing in Austin and the world!!

There are more than six million Muslims in the U.S . alone, making Islam the second largest religion in the United States. Sadly, Christians rarely reach out to Muslims. Some believe Muslims are too difficult to reach with the gospel. Others simply don't know how to share with their Muslim neighbors. The opportunities are great… and our GOD is GREAT!! Join us for Encountering the World of Islam Austin and discover how to embrace Muslims with the love of Christ!

For complete details, for answers to the most frequently asked questions, and to REGISTER ONLINE NOW visit encounteringislamaustin.org. A limited number of scholarships are available! The first two classes are FREE with no obligation!
