Risking Their Lives to Bring the Gospel to Muslims

Dear  Church, Bringing Muslims to Christ is extremely challenging. There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is that, in the more fundamentalist countries, it will cost them their families at the very least. At worst, it will cost them their lives. Those that do seek out the Lord often turn back because of the lack of pastors and ministries willing to take the risk of discipling them since they are often killed if they are successful in reaching Muslims.  Also, churches and ministries that are reaching Muslims with the Gospel are constantly targeted by radicals posing as interested seekers to discover and kill the Gospel workers.  This level of risk is too much for most churches and ministries in radical countries. This creates a huge gap between evangelism and baptism. The result? Most Muslim seekers return to Islam. We rarely talk about it for obvious reasons, but ICC has created and is running a large network of individuals and churches in one of the most dangerous Muslim countries. In the last two years, we have seen 40 Muslims convert to Christianity. That number is actually an incredible success because these are truly converted and publicly baptized Muslim background believers. Their public baptism tells their Muslim neighbors that they are rejecting Islam. Baptism is extremely dangerous in the country where we are working and is the best indicator of real conversion. We have gathered, trained, and equipped hundreds of individual believers and churches in-country on how to securely disciple Muslim seekers that come to us through various ministries that feed us requests from seeking Muslims.     Our numbers of converts is growing all the time. Currently we have 1,400 requests from Muslims for a Bible and approximately 800 have asked for advanced Christian literature to help answer questions about God, faith, the church, differences between Christianity and Islam, etc. Maintaining, training, and equipping this follow-up network is very expensive; yet due to our need for secrecy, raising money is difficult. Would you act as the hands and feet of the Lord to bring the good news to a Muslim who is requesting resources or follow-up? We can't do it without you so please give generously.   $15 Allows us to deliver a Bible and Christian literature to 1 Muslim seeker $50 Connects a Muslim seeker to a local Christian ministry $500 Provides one month of discipleship for 5 Muslim seekers $1,200 Provides 1 training for the on-the-ground discipleship team As I mentioned, we have 1,400 Muslims in our pipeline that have asked for follow-up, Bibles, or literature, We really need help to provide them with the resources and follow-uo that they desperately need. We need to raise $84,000 for this work and would greatly appreciate your help. As always, your donations are tax exempt and will be used ethically, efficiently, and effectively   I promise!       Jeff King President "Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
