Christian ministry leader Dawn Martinez was told she could no longer
hold the twice-a-week Bible studies she has taught for homeless people
for the last two years inside a McDonald's in Camden, N.J. A night
manager at the fast food restaurant told her last week that a customer
had filed a complaint. Martinez wonders if it could have been because of
the topic briefly discussed at one point last Monday – the Muslim
faith.
The 33-year-old, who began the ministry to transients and
drug addicts two years ago, describes the Bible study group's last
meeting on Monday.
"It was a very powerful night. We had one woman
join our prayer circle at the table and she was weeping and crying, but
that was nothing unusual for our meetings," Martinez told The Christian
Post. "I gave the Bible study. We talked about Isaac and Ishmael. I
began to give the history on the descendants of Ishmael and the
differences between the Christian and the Muslim faiths because the
Muslim faith believes the descendants of Ishmael are the chosen people.
"It was real brief and nothing unusual happened. We had the Bible study. We prayed and we left."
On Wednesday, Martinez was told the bad news by the manager right as the small group was about to sit down at the table.
