Timothy Harris

And when I would ask him questions about his life, I would be typing notes in my notes of my phone about his life. And he was struck by it. And so he went to a Christian man that he really respected at the restaurant where they both work. And he asked the Christian man, he said, can I trust Timothy and Miriam? This Christian man, he's also Arab, but he's a Christian.

He said, you can trust them with your lives. And so, yeah. And so so then he came back to me and he said, he said, OK, Tim, he said, I don't you can take as many notes as you want. And he said, because because I had two people telling me different things about you. One was that some of the Muslims that I I was around and worked with and for were.

said that Tim is probably either with the FBI or CIA. And that's why he is asking so many questions and taking so many notes. But the Christian told him, no, that's just the way he operates. He wants to get to know you. And he takes notes so that he can remember more about you. So the next time you talk,

He can ask you about your three kids back home or your wife or, you know, your mom, all those things. And so, yeah, so listening, you want to you want to listen well, ask a lot of questions, but make sure they know that you're if you do take notes, it's just because you care about them. It's not to be not because you're trying to because refugees are afraid.

It's not to be not because you're trying to because refugees are afraid.

I mean, and immigrants are often afraid. They're worried about law enforcement or something. They're worried about getting kicked out, being deported or whatever. And they've come from repressive governments. They've come from places where maybe they, like our friends, they protested the despots, the terrible dictators in their countries. And because of it, they were all thrown in prison.

And so they can be real hyper here when people ask a lot of questions.

Yeah, I was just talking to a Christian friend about this today, because he very often will give... you know, a Bible or a Christian tract, you know, a little booklet with the gospel in it to people, you know, kind of everywhere he goes. And what I have found, and I like that, I'm not against it. I think, you know, God has used tracts to bring people to himself through the ages and he still will.

Because that means that they have to take it to their apartment where they live with several other Muslims that they work with and they're related to and so it might look like They're a seeker and and one of the other Muslims might really take offense Might report them to someone and it can cause big issues for them. So what I'd rather do is is I like to say they love WhatsApp, our friends.

And so what I like to do is send them specific Bible verses in English and in their heart language of Arabic to them to pique their interest about what the Bible says about God and then bring it down to what the Bible says about Jesus. So I find that one of the best resources to use with Muslims is just have the Bible app on your phone.
