SHARING THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS WITH 1.8 BILLION SOULS

Rick Allen

Around 610 BC a man emerged from a cave in the Arabian desert after a long search for spiritual truth.

He claimed to have received revelations about god from an angelic being. Upon returning home he began preaching those revelations and winning followers. His goal was to convert all the pagans of Arabia to serving god in the correct way.

By the time this man died, he had spread his message to dozens of nations, conquering many of them, and had millions of fanatical followers. This man’s name was Mohammad, and today he is revered by nearly 1.8 billion people in 200 nations as the prophet of Islam.

Just one man with a truth claim, and the passion to reach those who haven’t heard it! Look what he did. Sadly, Mohammad’s message does not point to Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

Light for the Lost is passionate and determined to help our missionaries reach Muslims for Christ worldwide. We are encouraged and we praise God to know that Muslims everywhere are asking questions about Jesus Christ, and many are deciding to serve Him as a result of our efforts together. In fact, we can firmly stand on the declaration that more Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus at this time than in any other time in history.

ISLAM: OUR MODERN DAY NINEVEH

“CALLINGS” TO LIFE OR DEATH

During the war, a young Muslim man believed Allah was calling him to fight jihad (holy war) against America. He believed death in battle guaranteed him a place in paradise with
Allah. During a savage battle, he encountered an American soldier and shot him in the chest. That soldier was my brother.

It was terrifying for our family. Suddenly, the War on Terror became very real and personal. Thankfully, my brother recovered and is well today. But I remember back then hoping his would-be killer got what he deserved. I got my wish. I later learned the young insurgent died in the battle.

Today, that fact brings no satisfaction or closure. A young Muslim died without knowing Jesus and is forever separated from God. His spiritual “calling” led to his destruction.

Indonesia is the world’s most Muslim populated nation. Missionaries use LFTL funds to train and equip Bahasa-speaking evangelists to plant new churches in Muslim communities.

GOD’S DESIRE THAT NONE PERISH

I’ve met many Muslims with similar “callings” on their lives. They want to advance Islam and please Allah and they will go to great lengths to do so. But like the people of Nineveh, they don’t know their right hand from their left spiritually.

Jesus died for them, too, and Heaven is big enough for them. The Great Commission includes every Muslim. The final words of Jonah remind us that God’s deep concern is for all people, even the most "unreachable."

Global Islam is definitely an imposing spiritual stronghold. But its foundations are brittle, and Muslims are turning from it to follow Christ in historic numbers! Jesus is shaking the Muslim world, and we must be willing to go and give as He leads. My brother’s would-be killer was willing to give his life for a false “calling” and gospel.

What are we willing to give for the Truth?
