How do I greet my Muslim friend at Christmas?

Looking for a Christmas card with a difference to share the Gospel with Muslims in a culturally relevant way?

Christianity Explained has put together an evangelistic Christmas card for Muslims in various formats.

The project aims to explain the Gospel to Muslims in a culturally relevant way.

There are a number of ways you can use the Christmas card, such as putting it on social media. There are also other resources on their website, including a Christmas crossword with gospel message!

The card contains Christmas greetings and where there are commonalities in the Qur’an.
