I’ve got to admit I was a little nervous as we sat in an upstairs room at two
o’clock in the morning, surround- ed by Muslim men I’d just met, in a country
where it’s illegal to share the gospel with Muslims.
And yet, there we were, discussing the most contentious, provocative, and even
insulting truth of the gospel for many Muslims—the deity of Jesus Christ.
Surprisingly, these Muslims were open to listening, and it was because of the way
people like Mark, Kim, and Robert were living their lives. These believers had
earned the right to be heard by how they worked together in a business that
operated in this country. They were honest in their work, and they honored the
people they worked with. They also cared for those around them in striking ways.
The gospel had been woven consistently into the fabric of their interactions with
these Muslims. As a result, people were coming to faith in Christ.
