Arab Evangelist Targeted By Al Qaeda For Preaching Gospel To Muslims

Father Zakaria Botros is not well known to most in the Western World. However, he is considered one of the most viewed and effective Arab Evangelists in the world.

Instead he points people to Jesus Christ as the only way to Salvation. In the Muslim world - that is as dangerous as it gets.
