Mr. Sharif enjoys doing mission work in areas of the world where other missionaries are sometimes afraid to go. In November 2003, over six months after the start of the war in Iraq, Mr. Sharif was part of a team of twelve missionaries that spent 10 days in Baghdad meeting with Iraqi?s to discuss Christianity and learn more about Islam. He returned from that trip with the abundant hope that peace in Iraq is possible and that the truth of what is happening in Iraq is far more complex (and hopeful) than we are being lead to believe by the mainstream media.
