Definitely
Worth Watching!
Here are two excellent videos, each just a few minutes long and each definitely worth your time to watch! Whether you are Catholic, protestant, or muslim - you will be grateful to have heard the ideas so well expressed in each of these videos:
First, a question for your protestant family members and friends:
► "Who Founded Your Church?"
And a fascinating insight into how the Koran led a muslim to become a disciple of Jesus:
► "From Islam to Christianity"
Be sure to share these!
