With more than 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, you are likely to be around Muslims at work, at school, or in your community. Your attitude toward them could be a determining factor in their openness to the gospel. Will you take the opportunity of Ramadan to reach out to your Muslim neighbors?
Ten Practical Ways to Reach Out
- Prepare a bag of dates and nuts to pass out to Muslim neighbors right before sunset and introduce yourself.
- Visit a mosque in your city with a friend.
- Fast and pray each Friday throughout the month of Ramadan.
- Ask a Muslim neighbor or friend about Ramadan.
- Invite some international Muslim students from a local college or university to your house to break the fast one night.
- The “Night of Power” falls on July 13. Plan to stay awake through the night with other believers praying for Muslims.
- Prayerwalk a neighborhood that has a significant Muslim population.
- Go to an evening meal at a Muslim family’s house.
- Visit and eat at a Muslim-owned restaurant that is offering the evening meal.
