READY ALWAYS: a reason for this hope
|
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every one that asks you a reason of this hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
1 Peter 3:15-16 |

Stephen DickieStephen Dickie’s goal is to show how the individual Seventh-day Adventist can be an effective witness to Muslims one on one without arguing. Stephen is author of the book, Islam God’s Forgotten Blessing. He has served on the North American Division committee for Adventist Muslim Relations (AMR) for the past four years. He is an expert on the Bible position of Islam in world history. He is now being invited to speak more and more before Muslims. He works in the Philippines where he has recently met with professors of Islam, Arabic languages and Sharia law at Mindanao State University, the largest Islamic university in the Philippines. His close relationship with the world’s leading Sufi Sheikh has been an ongoing learning experience of how to present the Jesus of the Bible to any Muslim in the world.
Stephen is scheduled to present our Thursday evening message, Saturday afternoon message and breakout sessions. |
