What are some practical things to know as we reach out to black Muslims with the gospel?
First, we need to look at the social and cultural issues that are affecting the black communitythe need for justice, equality, empowermentand really take those seriously, then go to the Bible and begin to extract what it says about these things. Second, the principles I use to reach Muslims are exactly the same principles I use to reach anybody. There are three things that a Muslim, a Hindu, or anybody else has no resistance against: the prayers of the saints, the love of the saints, and the wise application of biblical truth to their core issueswhatever those issues are. Every Muslim that I’ve met who came to Christ always came to Christ for one or more of those reasons, and the one that I hear mentioned mostly is the love. We should always remember that Islam is a system, but Muslims are people. We may not like the system, but the people we must love.
