I have just read this story about how one Marine has been trying to witness to Muslims in Iraq and the Sunni's are in uproar over it.

Please pray for this marine and the others who have been doing this as I am not sure what will happen to them in the Army now.


Marine in Iraq Pulled From Duty After Allegedly Handing Out Christian Coins


BAGHDAD — A U.S. Marine handed out coins promoting Christianity to Muslims in the former insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, outraged Sunni officials said Friday. The U.S. military responded quickly, removing a trooper from duty pending an investigation.




Photographs of the coins, which were inscribed with phrases in Arabic, were widely distributed via cell phones in Fallujah and were seen by an Associated Press employee.

One side asked: "Where will you spend eternity?"

The other contained a verse from the New Testament: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16."
