| by Margaret Storey, Feba FEBA RECENTLY PIONEERED a new radio project to share Christ’s love with the "unreached" Muslim majority in an Asian country. To quote the radio ministry’s program director: "While there's an established minority church in the area, they were not trying to reach out to their Muslim neighbours because of a genuine belief that Muslims could not be saved! Their attitude was, why bother? That is very sad!" The director added that on more than one occasion, the radio team had heard from listeners who had gone to local churches to find out more about Jesus -- only to feel unwelcome, or even be turned away. Yet, Muslim listeners continue to come to faith in Christ through radio broadcasts ... and Feba is creating discipleship programs to encourage them.
Program producer Noor says that Muslims who come to faith in Christ, sometimes find themselves unwelcome in established churches due to distrust, or fear of persecution. He adds, "We frequently get threats, but we have to follow the example of Jesus.
"Jesus appeared to Paul, even though he persecuted Christians. Paul put Christians in prison; he even killed them... and in parts of the world, Muslims are doing the same to Christians." "But if we are not willing to love Muslims, then we will never have another Paul."
