Born and raised in
Egypt
as a Muslim, Amani is all too familiar with Islam. She was taught by her family and at school who Allah is and how she needed to pray to him. She found out early on to not ask questions about religion, but to accept what she was taught. She readily obeyed the religious and cultural rules of
her society. Naturally, when her mother accepted Christ she and her grandmother did not speak to her for one year.
But, as the Lord usually works, it was through trying to desecrate the Bible, that Amani began reading and seeing
for herself what the Bible really teaches. Upon seeing the personal work, grace and truth of Jesus Christ, she accepted Him as her Savior and Lord. Through many personal trials and persecution (in
Egypt
and the
US
), Amani has been trained to glorify Christ in all situations.
Amani is currently in full-time ministry reaching out to Muslims in the
US
. Her sole purpose is to train, equip and mobilize the
American
Church
to reach out to Muslims living in
America
. She shares her testimony, teaches on Islam and leads outreaches through her ministry, Freedom from Within.

Pastor Wally Magdangal was the pastor of an underground house church in
Riyadh
,
Saudi Arabia
during the Gulf War. His church grew to be among the largest in
Saudi Arabia
. Due to the impact he was having on the Muslim world, he became the most wanted person by the religious authorities in
Saudi Arabia
.
After many attempts, Pastor Wally was captured and placed in prison, where he was tortured because of his faith. In the midst of horrendous beatings and circumstances,
God continually showed His love and faithfulness to His servant.
After experiencing the humiliation of the Supreme Court, he was sentenced to death by hanging on Christmas Day, 1992. This remarkable testimony is a witness of God's
provision and delivering power for a man whose only desire was to bring the Good News of God's love to one of the least reached nations in the world.

Pastor George was born and raised in a Catholic family in the
Sudan
. He lived and studied in an Islamic context, but was never a Muslim himself. He was always told by his family to say he was a Christian if anyone at school asked, but it wasn’t until he accepted Christ into his life personally that he was set on fire. Through a
US
mission fellowship Pastor George grew in his relationship with God, along with his entire family.
At the young age of 11 he began working with
US
mission organizations sharing the Gospel with Muslims. During school, work, or his free time, Pastor George, as a young man, would be sharing with his Muslim neighbors, even if it meant punishment. The Lord blessed him for his work; students and even his teachers were coming to Christ. Through
living with, attending school among, and evangelizing Muslims for over 20 years, Pastor George is well-versed in the Qur’an, Hadith, Sira and other Islamic source material. He is fluent in Arabic and has a heart to help anyone in need.
By the grace of God, Pastor George was brought into the
US
by a green card lottery and there given a vision to reach Muslims living in the
US
. Since most missions agencies think of mission to Muslims as merely an overseas endeavor, Pastor George has been a voice crying in the desert since 2000 encouraging the American church to reach out to Muslims in their homeland. He is also an advocate for unveiling the Islamic agenda in the
US
. He has challenged over 1,200 Islamic leaders to debates and had his life threatened for his expos
God has gifted him with passion, vision, dedication, persistence and a friendly demeanor that captivates, not only
the American churches seeking to reach their neighbors, but also the Muslim people. He is regularly speaking in churches, organizing and teaching in seminars on Islam and leading outreaches to Muslims. He is ordained as a Pastor by Calvary Chapel and Founder and Director of the Arabic
Christian Perspective ministry. Join him in reaching his people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Kamal Saleem was born to a large Sunni Muslim family in the heart of the
Middle East
. At an early age, he was recruited by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and completed his first mission to
Israel
at the age of seven. During the many years of his terrorist training, Kamal mastered every form of offensive and defensive terrorist tactics.
As a young man, Kamal left his family and home in the Middle East to enter his mission field: the
United States
. He brought with him a tremendous passion to convert as many Christians and Jews as possible for the glory of Allah. He implemented his plan, and converted many people to Islam.
In 1985, Kamal’s world turned upside down when he was seriously injured in an automobile accident. At the accident scene, a Christian man tended to Kamal and made
sure he got the medical treatment he needed. Kamal’s orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist were also Christian men who over a period of several months ministered the unconditional love of Jesus Christ to him as he recovered. As a result of their love and sacrificial giving, Kamal cried
out to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob acknowledging his need for the Savior. Since that time, Kamal has become a man on a new mission as an ambassador for the one true and living God, the great I Am, Jehovah God of the Bible.
Kamal has tremendous insight into today’s world situation and a wealth of knowledge concerning the true culture and agenda of Islam. He is well versed in both the
Koran and the Holy Bible. He believes Islam is the most clear and present danger to both Christians and Jews in the world as we know it today. Kamal carries a message from God to awaken the Church through the truth, education, and relationships.
Kamal and his wife have been married for sixteen years. They have three children
and five grandchildren. Eight years ago, his local church ordained Kamal as a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He currently teaches and speaks worldwide in churches, Jewish synagogues, Muslim communities, universities and high schools. He has also appeared on worldwide radio and
television programs.

Ali El-Shariff was born in
Sudan
to a Muslim family. His father was considered a great religious leader in his life. By the age of five years old, Ali memorized three-quarters of the Qu’ran because Ali’s father wanted him to inherit his position as an Islamic leader. Not only was Ali a devout Muslim, but he also
participated in political activism. His political activism caused him to be in exile because of his government’s policies.
During his exile he had questions about his faith, but never dared ask his Muslim friends for fear of being persecuted. Praise God, in 1995, he met Christians and was willing to talk with them about Christ. After several discussions with two women and a pastor, he began to believe Jesus was
God. But, it was not until two months of attending church that he decided to accept Christ as his savior and proclaim his faith.
Once he proclaimed his faith, was persecuted by Muslims in
Zaire
, and about to die. Fortunately, he was able to move to
Canada
in 1999 and avoid being murdered.
Through Jeremiah 29:14, the Lord has called Ali to go and tell Muslims about Jesus Christ. Ali is currently an online pastor of hundreds of Muslim background believers in the
Middle East
. He is also a Doctor of Ministry candidate at Providence Theological Seminary where he previously earned a Master of Arts in Global Christian Studies in 2001.
Sam ShamounApologist, Debater, Evangelist, Writer, Speaker
Born in
Kuwait
, Sam moved with his family to the
US
at the tender age of 2 years old. Sam’s religious upbringing was based on the teachings found in most Assyrian homes, the Church of the East (more commonly known as the
Nestorian
Church
).
During his adolescent years Sam was confronted and challenged with his Christian beliefs and introduced to the teachings of Islam as being the one true religion.
This encounter shook Sam in a profound way. God used this experience to cause Sam to dig deeply into the basics of the Christian Faith. This examination came in the form of examining the teachings of the Holy Scriptures closely. While he examined the Scriptures, he came into contact with
the person of Jesus Christ and accepted Him as Lord of His life. God also showed Sam during his time of intense study that he was blessed with the ability to recall passages of Scripture with great ease. Along with the ability to recall scriptures, Sam gives relevance and meaning to Scripture
in order to answer skeptics’ questions.
Considered by scholars and theologians to be an authority on the teachings of Islam as well as Christianity, Mr. Shamoun currently writes for one of the world's
most highly recognized web sites challenging the teachings of Islam, : http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/index.htm, as a key staff contributor to the website.
Mr. Shamoun has countless articles dealing with common objections and obstacles presented by Islam against the Christian faith. In addition to his major contribution the web site,
Mr. Shamoun has engaged in debates nationwide as an informed apologist refuting the accusations and attacks presented by Islam against Christianity. Mr. Shamoun also lectures and teaches across the country and is a regular guest speaker for many leading missionary and Christian education
organizations.

Jamal Badawi, and Shabir ally on various Islamic and Christian topics. Dr. Anis had some overwhelming victories in his debates; especially against Ahmed Deedat who once did not show up for a rematch against Dr. Shorrosh.
He not only evangelizes and challenges Muslims, he also has escaped from three attempts on his life by fanatic Muslims in 1989. In Capetown,
Durban
, and
Johannesburg

Muslims tried to kill him, but were never successful; these were truly miraculous interventions of God.
However, his greatest success in ministry has been completing the translation of the monumental document The True Furqan from Arabic to English. In style and substance,
it is like the Muslims' Qur'an, but contains the Gospel message. It is written as a tool to share God's love with Muslims.
He and his wife, Nell, are also the parents of four children and eight grandchildren.
