Meet Sarah Asire, Our New Women’s Ministry Director
On behalf of our elders, I am thrilled to introduce you to Sarah Asire, our new Director of Women’s Ministry. In this interview I ask Sarah a few questions so we can get to know her. Along the way, let’s all get some insight into the how and the why of our women’s Bible study.

According to Muslim tradition, in the year 610 Allah began a twenty-three year process of dictating the Quran to Muhammad. The essence of the story is that Muhammad, in his quest for knowledge of Allah, repeatedly visited a cave near the city of Mecca for times of solitude. During one of those visits, Allah sent an angel to begin the dictation. That first visit came in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Ramadan.
