My name is Yusuf Estes now, but in years past my friends used to call me
Skip. I have preached Christianity and worked in the entertainment and
music industry since I was a boy in the 1950's. My father and I have
established music stores, TV and radio programs and outdoor entertainment
for fun (and profit). I was a music minister and even used a pony ride and
entertained the children as "Skippy the Clown."
Once, I have served as Delegate to the United Nations Peace Conference for
Religious Leaders. Now I am a retired former Muslim Chaplain for United
States Bureau of Prisons, Washington, DC. and I join alongside many
American Muslims, working with Muslim student and youth organizations
as well as schools for Muslim children. As such, I travel around the entire
world lecturing and sharing the message of the Christ of the Quran in Islam.
We hold dialogs and discussion groups with all faiths and enjoy the
opportunity to work alongside rabbis, ministers, preachers and priests
everywhere. Some of our work is in the institutional area, military,
universities and prisons. Primarily our goal is to educate and communicate
the correct message of Islam and who the Muslims really are. Although
Islam has grown now to nearly tie Christianity as the largest of religions on
earth, we see many of those who claim Islam as Muslims, that do not
correctly understand nor properly represent the message of "Peace,
Surrender and Obedience to God" [Arabic = 'Islam']
How.It.Happened: This may seem quite strange, while we perhaps may
share a few different perspectives and concepts of God, Jesus, prophet hood,
sin and salvation. But you see, at one time I was in the same boat as many
folks are today. Really, I was. Let me explain.

Priests Embracing Islam 4
I was born into a very strong Christian family in the Midwest. Our family
and their ancestors not only built the churches and schools across this land,
but actually were the same ones who came here in the first place. While I
was still in elementary we relocated in Houston, Texas in 1949 (I'm old). We
attended church regularly and I was baptized at the age of 12 in Pasadena,
Texas. As a teenager, I wanted to visit other churches to learn more of their
teachings and beliefs. The Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, Charismatic
movements, Nazarene, Church of Christ, Church of God, Church of God in
Christ, Full Gospel, Agape, Catholic, Presbyterian and many more. I
developed quite a thirst for the "Gospel" or as we say; "Good News." My
research into religion did not stop with Christianity. Not at all. Hinduism,
Judaism, Buddhism, Metaphysics, native American beliefs were all a part of
my studies. Just about the only one that I did not look into seriously was
"Islam". Why? Good question.
