I am a Pastor… I am a missionary… I am learning…
I've learned so much in the past weeks, I'm almost at brain over load. But God is so good! We had training. I went to an Arabic lesson.

Grouping
a.k.a. stereotyping
One of the things I have learned interacting with Muslims is that there are a wide range of adherents. I used to think that all Muslims were devout, and that a very small percentage were part of jihad. This view was very uneducated.
I now see that just as there are nominal Christians, there are nominal Muslims. There are those who don't wear the hijab. There are those who don't know what the Qur'an says. There are those who don't buy halaal meat. And there are those who eat pork and drink alcohol.
And then there are those who have clouded the news in recent weeks. The ones who feel that killing is the answer.
It doesn't matter who you are. Everybody needs Jesus.
