[Day 30] Most Afar are illiterate, they breed camels and live almost exclusively from camel’s milk and corn bread. During drought periods in the early autumn the camel’s milk is often only enough for the children – the parents live for weeks exclusively from tea extracted from coffee trees. Even in such meager times the Afar write poems and humorous and sometimes sarcastic songs about famine and the end. Visitors can be impressed with the tenacity and resilience of this people

[Day 10] The Khorasani Turks are 100 per cent Muslim, and their society is organized around traditional Muslim rules. At the present time, there are no known Khorasani Turk believers. Living in a very remote corner of the world, they are currently without Gospel resources in their own language, and there is no specific effort to implant believing congregations among them.

There are about 220 Muslim peoples around the world with over 100,000 members each, and these peoples have no local committed Christian witness. In addition, there are no known believers who are specifically planning to take the Gospel of the Kingdom to them.

Muslims need to know that there are treasures within the Bible, our personal sharing with Muslims are dynamic events involving interaction. Psalm 19 is a good choice. I point out that this is the "Zabur" (Psalms) mentioned in the Qur’an.

Always treat your Muslim friend with deep respect and find out what their views are on issues. Rather than looking for opportunities to ’share the truth’, be natural and open about sharing your life: Share God’s Word. For some students taking the step of becoming a follower of Jesus could mean being sent home, persecution or even death.

Possibly three-quarters of the world’s Muslims are not from an Arabic background; however, Mohammed’s Arab lifestyle and cultural background have profoundly influenced Islam. Arabs are Semites (descendants of Shem) with three types of Middle Eastern Arabs: the Joktanites, the Ishmaelites and the Keturahites.

Every Muslim is someone whom God loves. Some Christians do not pray for Muslims because of prejudices or fears. Let us pray by asking God to give us a heart filled with love and compassion towards Muslims. Pray that Muslims will also understand that God desires for everyone to know Him as children and not as slaves.

You could organise some weekly or twice weekly meetings over the 30 day Ramadan period with your church, your youth group, your committee or leaders’ meetings, your women’s meetings, home Bible studies, cell groups, children’s groups; in fact, any occasion when your Christian friends and associates meet together.

Muslims often believe that Christians are deceived and that they have an obligation to lead them to the truth of Islam. Because of this they reject many things that come from Western society and which they consider perverted. Christians need to know about these objections and be prepared to deal with them correctly.

Contrary to what is often thought, it is possible to lead Muslims to Christ. Christian witness to Muslims needs to take into account the context of Muslim culture and religion. In that sense our witness to Muslims will be different from that to other people. The message is the same, the means of proclaiming it is different.
