Moving to a new place can be difficult, especially if you don\u2019t know anyone in your new community. Muslims from across the world have moved to America for work or school yet they are often ignored by those around them\u2014even Christians. Fouad Masri, president of the Crescent Project<\/a>, says our job as believers is not to convert anyone, but to shine the light of Jesus and rely on him to draw our Muslim friends to himself.<\/p>\n

Masri is the author of a new book, Sharing Jesus with Muslims<\/em><\/a>: A Step-By-Step Guide<\/em> (affiliate link). Listen in as he talks about conversational apologetics, thought-provoking questions to ask a Muslim friend, and myths still circulating within the Muslim world about the Christian faith. You\u2019ll also hear Fouad\u2019s joy as he shares about his ministry and stories of Muslims coming to Christ.<\/p>\n

With over 30 years of sharing the gospel with Muslims, Fouad reminds us we are not called to bring anything new, but to pray for sincere hearts ready to receive the gospel. He emphasizes that we should pray for the leading of the Holy Spirit to help answer Muslims who are seeking spiritual truth, and to ask questions that provoke self-examination.<\/p>\n

Jesus is building his church among former Muslims\u2014including inside hostile and restricted nations where Christian persecution is common and among Muslims living in the United States and other nations with more religious freedom.
