Perhaps you have World Bible School Students, neighbors, or friends at your workplace who are Muslim. Are you aware of an online tool to help you in your efforts to share the Gospel with them?
The Crieve Hall church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee has a ministry called French World Outreach which is directed by missionary Barry Baggott (pictured left). Because of the extensive overlap between the French-speaking world and the Muslim world, FWO created a website specifically for Muslims, and it is now available not only in French, but in English and Arabic.

The name is taken from a verse in the Qur’an that speaks of the revelations given by Allah before the time of Muhammad and which commands Muslims to give the same respect to these revelations that they give to the Qur’an.
The Qur’an 2:136 says: “Say, ‘We believe in God and what was revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants, and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the (other) prophets by their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. It is to Him that we surrender ourselves.” RevealedToUs.com and its parallel sites in French and Arabic explain and defend the truth of the Gospel, that which God “revealed to us,”, in a respectful way that takes account of some of the points on which Muslims are often particularly sensitive.
About a hundred articles deal with five different themes:
Each article can be read or listened to online or downloaded as a PDF or audio file to be studied offline or shared with others. The last two series are not yet available in Arabic, but the translation work is in progress. Since a lot of material is now available in both English and
Arabic and more continues to be translated, it might be of interest to some Arabic-speaking World Bible School Students to read articles on the English site and then compare them with the Arabic site to see how well they are understanding what they read in English. It would help them both with their language study and their grasp of the spiritual concepts they learn as they go through the WBS courses.
The articles can also be downloaded and printed for free to be used in teaching Postal Students, or they can be ordered in brochure form in either French or English at www.frenchworldoutreach.org.

In this episode of One More Chapter, Brian Rex Davis, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis continue their study of biblical “principle”, explaining how general teachings give inclusive guidance that can be applied in various ways, while specific commands are authoritative and must shape belief and practice.
This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study by introducing the idea of “principle” as a way to bridge what a passage originally meant and what it means today, after first stressing purpose and context. The team takes a long–but useful–detour into Bible translations and versions—covering textual preservation, the spectrum from word-for-word to paraphrase, group vs. single-translator work, Dead Sea Scrolls, and which editions they personally use (NASB 1995, ESV, NIV 1984, etc.). The discussion on ‘principle’ will continue in the next episode!
This episode explores how understanding the purpose behind a Bible passage helps bridge the gap between what it originally meant and how it should shape life today. Brian, Noah, and Bryson discuss how purpose protects against shallow, checklist-style interpretation and helps distinguish enduring principles and examples from incidental details.
Brian Rex Davis sits down with Sahadevudu Vanga of India, a fellow missionary since gospel meetings in 1995. They talk about World Bible School’s renewed work in India and the effort to put Telugu translations and advanced courses—especially The Kingdom of God—into digital form. The conversation also covers family ministry, cultural care in a changing India, and tools that serve the next generation of the church.
