This is the ninth training in the G-Path: Go to the nations.
Motto: Love one another – Go and make disciples
If you are visiting a Muslim community, do all you can to keep any new disciples part of their Muslim community, attending their Mosque and bringing the Good News of Jesus to their Muslim brothers and sisters.

If Muslims say that the Gospel (which they call the Injil) has been corrupted, tell then that the Gospel we have today, is the exact same gospel that Muhammad had in AD600. It is that same Gospel that Muhammad said Muslims should learn from (Surah 43:63) and have faith in (Surah 4:136).
