As part of our continuing preparation for Spain, Lorena and I sat in a class this week on how to share the Gospel in a Muslim community. We cannot tell you how much this class has opened our eyes to the power of God’s Word and its ability to touch the hearts of those darkened by Islam. Our Professor, Dr. Zaka, pounded into our hearts and minds the importance of preaching Jesus Christ. Only He has the power to change lives.
During the week we visited a local mosque and created conversation with those Muslims in attendance. As we sat and observed their prayers offered to a distant Allah, we were struck by the number of men who showed up. There were easily two-hundred and fifty plus men in this small building. This doesn’t include the women who were left unseen behind the dividers.
If the amount of Muslims in the Lansdale, PA area has surprised you, it should be even more surprising to hear of the rising Muslim population in Spain. According to the book Operation World, there are over one million Muslims already in Spain. This, too, provides yet another opportunity for us to share the joy of the Gospel.
