As we have observed our nation become involved in fighting terrorism around the world, all of us as Christians have had mixed emotions. We support our national leaders and our struggle against Islamic extremists and the horrible aftermath of their acts of terrorism. At the same time, we have longed for a way to demonstrate the love of Jesus is a tangible way.
Muslim Bible Day provides that opportunity. Although each of us who are serving as National Chairmen are involved in a number of outreach programs throughout the Muslim world...none of them have the potential for God's blessing like the distribution of His Word. We encourage you to join this ever expanding project by getting your church, Sunday School class, Bible study, small group or organization enrolled and actively involved.
NATIONAL SPOKESPERSON
Dr. Johnny Hunt
First Baptist Church - Woodstock, GA
"At First Baptist Church Woodstock, Muslim Bible Day, is our way of honoring those lost to our nation on 9/11 and remembering them with an appropriate response to terrorism...by sending the words of our God and Savior in written form to their world that so desperately needs to know the Gospel."

RECOMMENDATIONS
Dr. Jerry Rankin
President - International Mission Board
"...Our missionaries and local believers continually face the task of discipling new believers and the need for the Scriptures in their language. Even when the Bible is translated, it is not always made available. This is especially true among those working in the Muslim world.
In light of this, we at the IMB have been in a partnership with Global Commission, Inc. since 1998. Together we have made the Scriptures available in some of the hardest places in the world of Islam. The success in penetrating these dark areas with the gospel has increased tremendously through our partnership..."
Dr. Keith Thomas
Pastor - Cottage Hill Baptist - Mobile, AL
"...Our church purposed in their hearts that where there was hatred, we were going to sow love. And through that purpose, we received over $60,000 for the sake of providing Bibles for the Muslim world. Today, that one purpose has transpired to become a nationwide event known as Muslim Bible Day.
I want to challenge you and your church to be a part of this great campaign. Our church was captured by the idea of changed lives through the power of His Word in an area of the world that desperately needs hope. These people need to know about a God that loves them and has an incredible plan of great redemption for them..."
