Who might you think is the hardest to convert to Christianity? The drug addict? The religious person? The really really good person? The satanist? The gang banger? The wealthy? The person in the cult?
My money is on the Muslims. Why? Well first off they intimidate many Christians. The world and the media have done a good job at that. right? They are all out to tear down america and destroy our fine country etc… look I don’t know if you have any muslims in your community but they have just as many issues trying to follow their religion as anyone?
It’s also hard to answer their questions. They think Jesus is a prophet and I am uncertain when they challenge me.
So why do Muslims come to Christ? Because if we can figure that out it will help us dramatically reach the less challenging.
5 Reasons Muslims Convert
A survey of 750 Muslims who converted to Christianity shows five predominant reasons they chose to follow Christ.
The respondents were from 30 countries and 50 ethnic groups. The survey was prepared at Fuller Theological Seminary's School of Intercultural Studies, and reported in Christianity Today.
Muslims are now 21 percent of the world population, increasing from 12 percent in the past 100 years. And the growth rate of Islam is higher than that of Christianity (1.81% per year, compared to 1.23%). Christians still outnumber Muslims, with one-third of the world population naming Christianity as their faith.
In some parts of the world, significant pockets of Muslims are turning to Christ, including North Africa, South Asia, and Indonesia.
