Millions of Muslims Coming to Christ...!


While browsing the web this morning, I noticed an item entitled, Six Million Muslims A Year Coming to Christ on a blog by a Vineyard leader called, "Charismatica." The post points the way to a video on YouTube containing a clip from an interview with a Muslim leader stating admitting that statistic, which works out to about 667 Muslims coming to Christ per day. (The broadcast begins in Arabic, then after a moment, English subtitles pop up.) Interesting...! Here is a link to a partial transcript.

In a similar vein, a friend of mine was flying across Pakistan a few years ago when he came across an article in an English language paper with the headline, "Warning! Our Children Are Becoming Christians!" It was a translated excerpt from an article in a Saudi Arabian paper saying that while rich Saudis were out jet-setting around the world spending their petrodollars, the foreign nannies they had imported were singing their children to sleep with sweet worship choruses about Jesus, and their kids were converting to Christianity at an alarming rate...

Just like Jesus promised,

"...this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14)

Christianity with a taste of Europe

One of the marvels of the internet is how it makes the world so accessible. To get a taste of what evangelical Christianity is like on "the other side of the pond," check out the Christian Today website. (Note: This is NOT the same thing as the U.S. based, Christianity Today website, which is another great online resource.) The British site includes news and articles from a thoroughly Continental perspective.

Another great way to expand your horizons beyond the borders of the U.S. is to check out Christian radio and TV in Europe. Here are links to both of the major Christian radio networks in Britain, UCB and Premier. If you understand French, listen to Radio Phare FM, run by a very dear friend of mine, Pastor Claude Greder of La Porte Ouverte church in Mulhouse, France, and their TV broadcasts.

To get a taste of what British Christian television is like, check out the live, online broadcasts of the God Channel and Premier Christian TV.

Enjoy...!
