In darkest places God can switch on a light that draws souls to the truth.

On fields of war, God can breakthrough with peace for those in turmoil.

In fiercely guarded fortresses, God can suddenly blast an open door.

 

Over the past few years, we have become convinced that God has opened a great door of opportunity for the Gospel in the region of North Africa and the Middle East.  We’ve had our own personal spiritual encounters. We’ve gathered observations and testimonies. We’ve sat in stirring discussions with numerous workers.

God is clearly doing something extraordinary.  

Some missiologists suggest that more Muslims have become followers of Jesus over the last twenty-five years than in Islam’s combined 1,500-year history.  Amazing reports of dreams and encounters with Jesus just keep coming in.

So why now?

Throughout Scripture God demonstrates an unrivaled sense of timing. Timing that is often unsettling to our natural senses. It is only as we look back that we discover the threads He weaves together that cause something to be perfectly in the  “fullness of time”.

There are many possible explanations as to why God has opened this door to North Africa and the Middle East at this time:

  • The horrors of terrorism and Islamic extremism have caused many to become disillusioned and to begin questioning.
  • Muslims often place a high value on dreams and are sensitive to what occurs spiritually while they sleep. God appears to be using this as an avenue to reach many who are seeking the truth.
  • Those who are searching for answers can now access the internet. The number of Media ministries to the muslim world are increasing and seeing great results.
  • The Christian Church in some predominantly muslim nations has sufficiently developed to become a sending church. Christian workers who already speak the language and understand the culture are being mobilized for the Harvest

 

“One thing is clear, receptivity wanes as often as it waxes.

Like the tide, it comes in and it goes out.

Unlike the tide, no one can guarantee when it goes out

that it will soon come back again.”

Donald A. McGavran

 

We might not ever understand all the reasons why God is working among muslim people the way He is right now, but we can grasp the importance of recognizing the season and seizing the opportunity.

If God is working in the MENA region, shouldn’t we join Him?
