"My wife and I have been in Senegal since 1981, seeking to get the Gospel out to the Muslim community here.
"I just watched the English version of "God's

the message of the prophets and the redemptive work of Christ! "In my opinion, this video has potential to make a greater impact for the progress of the Gospel than any other film in history (at least in the

bring us Jesus. We will now use the Old and New Testaments."
