As Islamic State (IS) terrorists wreak havoc in Iraq and Syria, their actions are spurring a ripple effect.
“It’s moving across the globe,” says Bruce Allen of Forgotten Missionaries International (FMI).
FMI supports national church leaders in Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Each of these countries is now fighting Islamic State recruitment efforts. Allen says believers are fighting IS darkness with the light of Christ.
“The pastors and church planters and evangelists in these countries have a great window of opportunity,” he shares. “Especially as leaders of the Christian community in these places of darkness, we have to be people who are buoyed by confidence and who are motivated by hope.”
