Our mission is to equip those willing to be a light in the darkness by reaching out to Muslims.

WE ARE CALLED BY JESUS IN MATTHEW 5:14-16

YOU ARE THE LIGHT THAT GIVES LIGHT TO THE WORLD. A CITYTHAT IS BUILT ON A HILL CANNOT BE HIDDEN. AND PEOPLE DON’THIDE A LIGHT UNDER A BOWL. THEY PUT IT ON A LAMPSTAND SOTHE LIGHT SHINES FOR ALLTHE PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE. IN THE SAME WAY, YOU SHOULD BE A LIGHT FOR OTHER PEOPLE. LIVE SO THAT THEY WILL SEE THE GOOD THINGS YOU DO AND WILL PRAISE YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.”

Our vision is to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the more than 1.3 billion Muslims worldwide is based upon the biblical mandate for missions found in the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20:

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Our ministry goals are to:

• 1. EDUCATE THE CHURCHES REGARDING THE SPECIAL NEEDS OF THE LARGER MUSLIM POPULATION BREAKING DOWN THE COMMON STEREOTYPES THAT SEPARATE US.
• 2. TO HELP THE CHURCHES UNDERSTAND THAT THE MUSLIM’S EXPERIENCE WITH LOVE IS ESSENTIALLY PHILEO AND TO SHOW THE AGAPE LOVE OF CHRIST
• 3. TO HELP THE CHURCHES UNDERSTAND THE SPECIAL PROBLEMS THAT MUSLIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES FACE WHEN THEY COME TO CHRIST
• 4. GIVING THE CHURCHES TOOLS TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT MUSLIMS HAVE ABOUT BOTH FAITHS
• 5. TO HELP THE CHURCHES UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS THAT MUSLIMS BELIEVE IN RELATION TO THE SCRIPTURES

My Testimony

For those of you who don't know who I am, my name in Fareen. I was born and raised in avery Muslim family. Even as a child, I knew I had the right pieces to the wrong puzzle, but since my parents believed in the thought of Islam so wholeheartedly, I thought I just had to be missing something. So I dug in deeper, prayed harder and studied like there was no tomorrow. Little did I know that I was just trying to fill a God shaped hole with the wrong puzzle pieces.

In my senior year of high school I took a leap of faith that lead to mycommitment to Jesus Christ. I met a very wise young lady that intoduced me to my missing puzzle piece. She told me that God Himself came down to earth to sacrifice his life for mine to give me a new life to live with Him at my side. As time went on. I spent more and more time trying to find out who Jesus was, and where He came from. then a wonderful movie came out called The Passion of Christ. I could not tell you at the time what drew me to the story of this man. Not just any man, but the Son of Man. It hit me one night, that Christ was my missing puzzle piece.

Soon my parents started noticing that I was not at home, as they expected me to be, because I was out learning whatever I could about my new faith. Soon I began to live out what Christ had said about pitting Mother and daughter. I told them who I now was in Christ, and what I believed in.

Soon after my graduation I left my parent's house. I had no option at the time but to move in with my current boyfriend. He cheated on me and I forgave him thinking that that's what God would have wanted me to do. Soon after that I was thrown out of my church for continuing to live with him. "How could the Lord let this happen to me?" I thought. I fell away from the Lord and grew bitter toward Him.

For almost four years, my boyfriend and I continued to live together. I was content with the fact that I had someone to love and someone to "love" me back. Only three weeks before out 4th anniversary, he broke up with me. He explained to me, in a letter, that he simply did not know if he loved me anymore. I soon found out that he had cheated on me several times during our relationship. I broke down. That night I spoke to God for the first time in almost three years. I fell to my knees and without uttering a word, the Lord washed me of my burden and I had peace.

Throughout the years my family and I have had our ups and downs along with several heated arguments about my faith. Through the years I have been asked my times to renounce my relationship with Christ. And every time I stood firm for the sake of my Savior so that every knee will bow and every tongue can confess His glorious name.

Through all my trials and beatings I have forgiven my father, continue to pray for him, and have overcome in the Lord, standing strong at Isa’s (Jesus) side. God has called me to bring the light to the Muslims, along with teaching the churches to do this as well. Matthew 5:14-16 states my purpose in life; “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand and it gives like to everyone in the house. In the same way let your light shine before men, that they ay see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”

Thank you for your time and support, as well as for your prayers.
