Last month, Leading The Way's 24/7 satellite television channel, THE KINGDOM SAT, launched a new program called "Behind the Dunes" featuring teachings from a Saudi Arabian convert. This is a significant milestone, as Brother Al Fadi is the first Christian with a Muslim background who will be a featured Bible teacher on THE KINGDOM SAT.
"The juxtaposition of a man in traditional Saudi dress, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and sharing about his experiences as a former Muslim is a powerful image that we pray will resonate with Muslim audiences."
Dressed in traditional Saudi clothing, Brother Al Fadi formerly a Wahhabi Muslim, the most extreme branch of Sunni Islam uses his experiences as a platform to share the Gospel, contrasting the teachings of the Qur'an with the teachings of the Bible.
"When I came [to Christ], I brought all of my Islamic thinking," he says in the first episode of the program. "I wanted to know how to please Christ through prayers and fasting, living the way I am supposed to in terms of worship, rituals, and traditions. But I found out eventually that Christ gave me freedom. These shackles were broken. All that is required of me is to be His servant alone."
