Free conferences will be held in Spokane Sept. 28-29 & El Cajon Oct. 5-6
A two-day free conference -- "Islam and The Church" -- will be held in two cities: Spokane and the greater San Diego area in early Fall. Both conferences will have a similiar schedule and will discuss various spiritual and practical issues involved in Christian ministry in the Middle East.
One conference will take place in Spokane at Spokane Bible Church, on Sept 28-29, and one will take place a week later at Foothills Christian Church in El Cajon, Calif. on Oct. 5-6.

David Joseph, founder and president of The Last Harvest, will discuss the main forces at work in Islamic nations that he says are causing pressure upon native churches, and are inflaming spiritual passion among Muslims. Joseph will also talk about the spiritual oppression of Islam, and his vision regarding the "stones" that need to be removed from the "highway" (Isaiah 62:10). "These stones keep Muslims from understanding the Gospel," he says.
Other presenters include Muslim-background believers who will discuss the challenges faced by those who have left Islam for Christ. Conference leaders will also describe the special challenges of ministering to women who leave Islam for Christianity.
"But, it's not just challenges," said Joseph. "There's good news, too. We also want the Christian community to hear some of the encouraging accounts of the many Muslims who are coming to Christ. We want them to know how God is circumventing the obstacles, and how the Lord is moving among the Islamic countries," said Joseph.
Charlie and Jan Fletcher, of Advocates For The Persecuted, Inc., in El Cajon, Calif., will present ways Americans can partner with Middle Eastern believers in changing the spiritual landscape of the Middle East.
