Sadia stood on the bank of the river, lined up next to eight other Muslim-background men and women. A nervous joy bubbled in her chest, threatening to overwhelm her with tears. “Have you decided to follow Jesus and Him only?” asked Farid, a believer who belongs to the same Muslim […]
Until the Rain Comes
It doesn’t rain much in the Sahara. But when it does, you can hardly believe what happens. I’ve only seen it happen twice in my time living here in the desert. My home in the Sahara is a far cry from Middle America where 30 years ago, my church began […]
Muslims and Gentiles
Husam is a Muslim-background believer and one of our team’s closest national partners. As a result of our partnership, several groups of Muslims have started studying God’s Word. Those groups are multiplying as people discover Jesus Christ, grow as His disciples, and become trained as house church leaders. In monthly […]
A Man of Peace Opens the Door for the Gospel
In a remote, unstable area of the Caucasus—a mountainous region between Eastern Europe and Asia—live a Muslim people group called the Khalysh*.

No Matter Where We Go
Husam sat behind a desk piled with important-looking paperwork. “Why did you come to this country?” the well-dressed official asked me. If my answer wasn’t to his liking, then there was a good chance I would walk out of Husam’s office without the thing I had come for: his official […]
How the Gospel Is Spreading in Muslim Villages
In a remote corner of east Africa, my teammates and I are witnessing how dramatically the Gospel is spreading in Muslim villages. My language tutor is a woman named Salma. Over the years, my teammates and I have shared Bible stories with her, and she’s gradually drawing near to Christ. […]
The One I Want to Follow
Dozens of Muslim women surrounded me on a crowded mat under a thatched shelter. We had gathered to celebrate the birth of a neighbor’s baby. But my heart broke as I looked around at these women who cared for me when I was ill, taught me where to find the […]
Imprisoned for a Purpose
Shackled to his bed in the small jail cell, Hadi wrestled with God. “I haven’t done anything wrong!” he cried out in the silence. “Why am I here?” But as a Muslim-background believer in a conservative Islamic country, Hadi knew the answer. He remembered the words of the Apostle Peter: […]
