The most recent Annual Population Survey found 1.25 million followers of Islam in London – that’s one in eight Londoners.
If, by God’s grace, the gospel is to flourish among these people – Bangladeshis in East London, Arab-speakers in West London, and Turkish and Iranian communities – it will be due to ordinary Christians faithfully and patiently building relationships, breaking down misconceptions, living and speaking the teaching of Jesus.
Sakina’s story
Among the Muslim community the opportunity is vast, and we do not want to miss it. Take Sakina, for example. She grew up in a Muslim family and questioned her faith growing up. Following interactions with Christians, including our missionaries, and an encounter with God through a dream, she is now a follower of Jesus Christ.
