Befriend a Muslim

I read two articles recently that really impacted me. One of them was a non-scientific study conducted by a professor at Fuller Theological Seminary show that the number one influence for a Muslim to start following Jesus is a Christian’s lifestyle.  The other article that I read stated that 8 out of 10 non-Christians do not have a personal relationship with a Christian. When it comes to Muslims on a global scale 9 out of 10 Muslims don’t have a personal relationship with a Christian. If a personal relationship with a Christian is the number one way to lead Muslims into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, than shouldn’t this be our primary objective, and that is to befriend a Muslim.

I do want to say in America we are not doing that bad. 7 out of 10 Muslims in North America know a Christian personally. This is good news, however when it comes to other nations, outside of Latin America, it is 1 to 2 Muslims have a relationship with a Christian. No wonder why their perception of Christianity is so messed up. My challenge to you is to find the other 3 out of 10 Muslims to don’t know a Christian and befriend them. My next challenge is to pray for the Lord of the Harvest to send out laborers into His harvest field to reach and befriend those in Asia.

I read another statistic that was pretty scary. There is estimated that there is only one missionary for every five million Muslims in India!. Please pray for the Muslims of India.
