Seeing some of the local sights in this beautiful city as the “Adhan” (Islamic call to prayer) begins to sound in the background. We find many of the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Muslim world to be very beautiful, yet broken and in need of the Gospel of Grace, just like so many things in the Western world. Please pray that the people of this city, country, and region would know Jesus, who the Qur'an calls “Isa al-Masih” (Jesus the Messiah), and instructs Muslims to learn about Him from their Christian neighbors, and tells them that “you will surely find the most gracious (to Muslims) to be those who call themselves Christian.” While the Qur’an’s understanding of Jesus and Christianity is far from perfect, there are many clues in Islam that point our Muslim friends and neighbours to Jesus.

This is What 2.5 Million People Who’ve Never Heard the Gospel Looks Like

When missionaries talk about UPG’s (Unreached People Groups), most of us as Americans think of people living in huts on an island in the south Pacific, or deep in the heart of sub-Saharan Africa, and sometimes that’s true. But just as often as not, members of UPG’s live in some of the largest and most beautiful cities in the world.

This is a city of 2.5 million that most westerners have never heard of, that is the capital of a country that most have never heard of. It has unbelievably ancient roots, historic palaces, modern skyscrapers, incredible food, and wonderfully warm and friendly people, who not only aren’t Christians themselves, but who have probably never even met a Christian and have certainly never heard the Gospel of Grace. It is ancient yet modern, culturally and financially rich yet spiritually poor, European yet Asian, beautiful yet gritty, Muslim yet secular. And over 99% of its residents are lost and have no one to tell them about Jesus. 

What are we going to do about that?

MTW Giving Website Being Anonymised For Upcoming Trip to Muslim World

Hi Everyone, 

After having to jump through a few more hoops than we had anticipated, our MTW giving page is now "anonymised" in order to protect our colleagues and those they serve in the Middle Eastern country we will be visiting later this month. As part of that anonymisation, the link to our giving site has been changed to remove any photos and information that would identify us with our organisation publicly. Our new giving link only contains our MTW ministry account number, 400513, and until further notice will be found at https://www.mtw.org/missionaries/400513. Thank you all for your prayers and support!
