Was that a serious request or sarcasm?

Assuming you were serious, the word "gospel" means "good news." The gospel/good news is defined succinctly in I Cor. 15:1-7. " . . .that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures..."

Godspeed to Warren and any other Christian willing to visit a part of the world desperately in need of the good news he teaches.

It was sarcasm. I don't finger Warren specifically, but I have seen how some congregations have taken to his "purpose driven" message, and it would appear from what they take from his books, the "Good News" is that any church can and should have a membership of 10,000 people.

The punishment for spreading the Good News in a Muslim country is death.
I don't think the boy was doing any preaching.

"Godspeed to Warren and any other Christian willing to visit a part of the world desperately in need of the good news he teaches.zZ"

They don't want the Good News in Syria, Saudi Arabia or in any of Israel's enemies' countries. Rick Warren's visit simply enabled Syria to use the heft of his fame for their Satanic purposes.
