9) WhatsUp with WhatsApp? Full-encrypted Video Calling
To us, it used to seem like such a childish app. And suddenly, they have fully encrypted video.

We asked our I.T. guy here at Team Expansion to interpret the fine print in the end-user licensing agreement. There was just a TAD of bad news. Keep in mind, WhatsApp has now linked their user names and phone numbers with user names and phone nunbers in Facebook — and they now keep a digital track of whom you call and when. But what you say is a secret to all, no matter WHAT bad guy (or government) asks, including the NSA.

14) The Last Bit: Your Take on Invitations to a Muslim Dialogue?
We recently carried an item highlighting an event which was being staged by Muslim friends for the purposes of informing us about Islam from a first hand view. Our purpose was to highlight a chance to hear about Islam from the vantage point of someone who espouses it, you know? But one Brigada reader took offense, in a way. When we responded to him with an apology, if we had erred by promoting the event, her replied, “Working for about 20 years among Muslims now, I really want to see more mission minded Christians or in general many more believers to understand Islam and love Muslims! But at the same time I see even here in the city I live many Christians focus on ‘interreligious dialogue’ instead of sharing the gospel, Imams performing Islamic prayer calls in churches and the like. I know that if we’re walking with Jesus, we are the only ones not to be afraid, but still it’s a very deceiving spiritual power behind Islam. I feel it’s very important to make a difference: It’s not the same if we talk about Muslims – or Islam. Muslims are first of all people, created by the heavenly father who longs for a personal relationship with each one… who loved each one of them so much that he humbled himself, came to walk on the earth as the Son, giving up everything for them – for us all. But Islam is much more than just a false teaching. It’s a spiritual power that receives adoration from 1.4 billion people – a wave turning around the globe 5 times a day, responsible for a lot of fear, terror and death. So I’m a bit critical when it comes to inviting Christians to an Islamic event with the Islamic Center’s intention to promote Islam.
I pray that there will be spiritual awake believers who are able to confront the powers and invite Muslims to Jesus.” He added, “I’m not sure if you understand my point – English is not my first language.” We did understand his point. And we wondered about your take on his response. If you have a moment, please click “Comment” after the web version of this item. Thanks in advance for your input.
