Every Wednesday, a Muslim woman would come to meet with a group of ladies at our house. Over sweet mint tea, they would start in the Old Testament and work their way toward Jesus. After they met, the woman would leave as quickly as she came. Then, one day, it all changed. Jesus became more than a prophet to her, more than a name in history. On that day, Jesus became God incarnate, Savior and Lord. Not long after, she followed her Savior in baptism with her new sisters in Christ, confessing a new birth and a new life.<\/p>\n

Sharing the gospel with Muslims is one of the great privileges I have had in my lifetime. Some of my greatest memories are of sitting on the floor, telling people Old Testament stories of sacrifice and service to God, and then talking about what it means for Jesus to be God and the ultimate sacrifice.<\/p>\n

One day, a friend with whom we had shared the gospel many times said to me, \u201cJohn, I think you are right, Jesus did suffer on the cross for my sins.\u201d For a Muslim, this was a big step. But not big enough, so we kept telling him biblical stories of faith and Jesus. Sometime later he said, \u201cJohn, I think you are right, Jesus did die on the cross for my sins.\u201d then he added, \u201cAnd Jesus and the Prophet, they are the same.\u201d Again a big step, but not enough, so we kept telling him biblical stories and sharing how Jesus is much more than any prophet that ever lived. Finally, one day, he said \u201cYou are right, Jesus is God; He is Savior; He is Lord.\u201d on that day, he took a step of faith, \u201cconfessing with his mouth Jesus as Lord\u201d (Romans 10:9-10).<\/p>\n

When most of us think of Islam and Muslims, we think of extremists and terrorists. Our images are of women wearing burkas and men in head scarves. Instead, we should think of our Muslim neighbors down the street, worried about their kid\u2019s education, how things are going at work and about their marriages and in-laws. They\u2019re not so different from you and me. So how do you share your faith with a Muslim? When I think of sharing my faith with a Muslim, I like to think in terms of C. Peter Wagner\u2019s 3 P\u2019s in evangelism: presence, proclamation and persuasion. I like to add a fourth \u201cP:\u201d prayer, which is the foundation of all of our evangelism. Think of these four P\u2019s as building blocks forming a pyramid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
