“In many regions in Africa, Islam is moving very fast. The people in these communities don’t necessarily want to be Muslim; it’s just that Islam got there first.” – Guidelines Partner in Africa
Of the 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide, over 80% have never heard of Jesus’s great love for them. 86% of Muslims have never even met a Christian. There is an injustice here: billions of people have not had the choice to accept Christ’s invitation of hope because they don’t know about it.
ISLAM IS RACING THROUGH AFRICA
Islamic rule defines and controls politics, religion, community, and culture in Muslim countries. It isn’t presented as an option but rather an unquestioned reality.
Today, Islam is moving southward through Africa with many people given no option but to become Muslim. In fact, according to a Guidelines partner there, it isn’t that these people didn’t want to become Christian; it’s just that Islam got there first, and there was no choice.
GETTING THE GOSPEL THERE FIRST
This is why it is critical for the gospel to get to these African regions first, before Islam. To help make this happen, Guidelines will begin working on five new African language broadcast devotional projects, specifically targeting Western Africa.
Through your support, those harboring doubts about Islam and hungry for God will hear biblical truths regularly in the West African regions where we will broadcast.
Together, we can race to deliver the gospel first!
