A network member writes about a Christmas time when they invited a group of Muslims to their home.
What do you picture in your mind when you think of Muslims in the UK? Whatever the image in your mind, God tells us to love all Muslims! But what does that look like in practice?
Many churches with Muslim communities on their doorstep offer English language classes or English Conversation groups and find that these activities open the door to engaging with their neighbours. Find out how to use Halloween topics as a springboard to talking about Jesus.
The Islamic month of Ramadan runs from 10 March to 8 April this year (2024). Ramadan is a great time to start conversations with Muslim friends and colleagues and to focus on praying for Muslims in our local community and across the UK. These next few weeks are full of opportunities!

One of our regional reps was on the road recently, helping to motivate and mobilise local Christians to love their Muslim neighbours.
We got the following note of thanks!
Dear Mahabba,
It is we who want to thank you. We want to tell you how grateful we are for your contribution to our event.
“the Christian way is to make friends with Muslims, respect them as people, show understanding and reach out with the grace the Lord Jesus offers”
You communicated the message so well: that the Christian way is to make friends with Muslims, respect them as people, show understanding and reach out with the grace the Lord Jesus offers.
Personally, I was twice blessed by you, having been a teacher and wanting to share that grace with Muslims which identifies us as Christians.
Your message would have been a window for people to see a fresh understanding of the Word. Your impact was so powerful.
“Our discussions about Islam and Muslim people will never be the same again!

Our discussions about Islam and Muslim people will never be the same again!
Time together was brief, but it was such a pleasure to meet you both.
Thank you for your introduction to Islam which was all too brief. May the Lord richly bless your ministry. "The field is ripe.."
