“But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you….

- Matthew 5:44

 

...In 1999, a conference brought together Christian workers who minister among Muslims in North America. The common goals laid out for this gathering were to:
• better understand Islam in North America
• promote the networking of ideas, resources and personnel for more effective ministry
• highlight working models of outreach to identify strengths and needs of Christian ministries among the Muslims of North America

...In “The Gospel for Islam”, you will find the valuable insights and shared experiences of these leaders, missionaries, and individuals. Chapters include such topics as:
• Muslim Background Believers
• presenting the Gospel to Muslims
• models of outreach to Muslims used in the United States and Canada—hospitality, refugee, friendship centers, international students, interfaith dialogue
• the call to the church in North America
• ministry to Muslims in the third millennium

Tass, Karen and Farah were a vital part in the planning of the most recent meeting of this group in October 2005. They also conducted workshops for the attendees. Out of the 2005 meeting will come another book soon to be published.
...In light of the new world order, no resource is of more importance than this one. I believe the issue of the Christian Gospel and the Muslim world is one of the most important mission/evangelism questions of the day. How thankful I am for Roy Oksnevad and his team of contributors. It is written by practitioner-scholars who labor in love to reach the precious Muslim people.” - Lon Allison, Director, Billy Graham Center, Wheaton College.
