Khadija is presently living in the Middle East and is available for lectures through out the Middle East and internationally. All lectures are given in English and may be interpretated. For Arabic countries Khadija has her own interpreter, all other non-English speaking countries should provide their own interpreter pending her approval.

Medium of instruction:

English
Arabic- with translator

For Arab gatherings, Sister Khadija uses her own translator who has worked with her translations for the last 10 years and has helped to make this a success. Because of the difficulty in translating some of the Christian terminologies, not everyone is qualified and she finds it best to bring her own translator who is already familiar with her work.

2 . Travel and accomodation expenses for Khadija, maharam and translator.

Sister Khadija is also willing to go to remote areas even for one or two people, because maybe these are the very ones that God is calling into Islam.
