How is God calling Muslims to himself? As we survey the world and study movements in Islamic strongholds, our field staff are discovering four ways Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus Christ.

Muslims Meeting Jesus

For Muslim people, a loving God is unfathomable.

Allah is a god of wrath and anger. They perform ritual actions to keep his wrath from falling on them and to try to please this fickle deity.

So how do Muslims start to see God as love? Through the caring actions of Christians around them. In the Muslim outreach I am a part of, many families have said, “There is something so different about you Christians. You all carry peace.”

The number one desire of a Muslim is inner peace. And with so much uncertainty and violence staining their faith, they are curious about the love and peace that so many Christians carry with them.

How Do Muslims Encounter Jesus?

Dreams, Visions, Miracles and Answered Prayers

For many Muslims cultures, heavy emphasis is placed on spiritual dreams, visions, and revelations. For thousands of years, they have beseeched Allah to grant them dreams and supernatural knowledge.

And in the past fifty years, they’ve been answered, but not by Allah.

Instead, the one true God and His Son, Jesus Christ, are showing up supernaturally. When I was in the Middle East last year, evangelism was not difficult at all. We would enter a home, sit down, and ask them, “Have you had any spiritual dreams lately?” About 50% of the time, they would say, “Yes.” And almost all of them were of a man in white with shining white hair.

Sharing the Word of God with Muslims

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and it speaks truth into darkness.

In the Qu’ran, Muslims can read about the works of Jesus, but the stories are skewed. Even the Muslim Holy Book speaks about the importance of reading other spiritual texts, including the Bible. However, many Muslims are very hesitant about reading the Bible, claiming that it has been morphed and changed by Christians over the years.

But many who actually sit down and read the Bible are hit with the truth that it brings.

The incredible violence of the last seven years has shocked the entire world, including millions of Muslims. Radical jihadists are a small percentage of the entire Muslim population, but they remain headlined in the news because of their horrible acts of terrorism in the name of Islam.

War has rocked the Middle East for so many years that most Arabs cannot remember a time of peace.

The Great Commission compels us to reach the entire world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We have the answer in our hearts and in our hands to combat the destruction and fear we see in our world. Politics won’t change terrorism. War won’t fix this problem. This is not a humanitarian issue. It is a spiritual war, and Jesus is the only one who can bring victory.

Jesus Christ is the Answer

Are you on your knees, fighting for your Muslim neighbors?

Jesus Christ can bring an end to the Syrian crisis. The Almighty God can bring peace to the Middle East for the first time in thousands of years. Already, God is doing an amazing and impossible work that we have never seen before in history. While media shows fear, we must hold onto the truth that God is at work in even the worst of circumstances.

Show love, not fear … and ask yourself, “What are three ways I can share love with Muslims?”
