Reaching out and touching Muslims...

[serapha]

At church this morning there was a seminarian student speaking, and he presented some interesting information on the muslim victims of the tsunami.

His professors at seminary were receiving emails from missionaries who are busy working in areas that were hit hard by the disaster. Two of these areas are completely muslim and no Christians have been allowed into the area at all. To be a Christian in these areas would mean certain death.

But the reports are that in these areas, the muslims are asking, "why do we only see infidels helping us?" And the question has been answered by their muslim counterparts to the north... that God must have sent this disaster to these muslims because of their own sins so the muslims won't help them in this time of disaster.

The other question that is being asked in the completely muslim areas is why isn't there more financial aid coming from the oil-rich muslim countries to help their brothers?

What the muslims who have hated and despised Christians are seeing is that it is the Christians who are coming to their aid, who are providing medical care and food, and it is opening the door for Christians to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a place where they have never had the opportunity to go before.

The field is white with harvest and the workers are few.

The reason that muslims dont want christians entering is because of the prosolytyzing.

face it, if your hungry, have absolutely no shelter or clean water, an the only place to get it would be from a muslim who is goign to force feed you the koran, then you would probably think 2 times, maybe more. Churches would probably condone it as an evil practice and attempt to take advantage during a disaster.

oil rich muslim nations- live in poverty. They are ruled by dictators, and the people dont get the share, the pricnes do. WHy they dont give, is the same reason bush gave so little at first, the same reason why he doenst want the US there helping anymore. Greed.

Hi there!

:-D


<waves>


but the good news is that the Good News is now going out into those formerly all-muslim provinces.

There is GOOD coming out of a disaster. God's opened the door for His Word to be given to the people.


**yes**

Serapha,

I'd like to recomend a fascinating book detailing evangelism going on in the "heart" of muslim extremist circles. Light Force by Brother Andrew. Absolutely breath-taking, although it may be some-what offensive with the non-western look at the situation.

With luv
-Sara

Hi there!

:smt039

I've added that book to my wish list which is very long... and

*sigh*

The books that I have in front of me all need to be read before I buy more books.

But thanks for your input and guidance.
