Osman Jama of the group Mission to North America\u2019s Refugee and Immigrant Ministry was one of two speakers at a seminar held [June 11] at the Presbyterian Church in America\u2019s 51st General Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The seminar featured Jama talking about his Islamic upbringing and how he came to Christ in 2007 while living in Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview with The Christian Post<\/em>, Jama explained that while Christians in America \u201creally do well studying,\u201d they must be more active in evangelizing nonbelievers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe take our personal discipleship and personal growth very seriously, but we are also commissioned to go make disciples of all the nations, and in that, we are called not just to study but to go,\u201d said Jama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe go part is also important. I think we do a really good job of sending others, but my personal belief is that everyone is called to evangelism, there are just different talents and callings. Some are called to the Middle East, some are called to Europe, but others are called to be here, to do evangelism with their neighbors, and to go across the street as much as across the country or across the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n See the full story with links and pictures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Readers might be interested in an analysis of trends in American Christianity from Trevin Wax, 3 Waves That Have Shaped Evangelical Churches (and a 4th on the Way)<\/a>; published by The Gospel Coalition or this look African-American mission history, Juneteenth and the Great Commission<\/a> (ChurchLeaders.com).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: Christian Post, June 12, 2024 Osman Jama of the group Mission to North America\u2019s Refugee and Immigrant Ministry was one of two speakers at a seminar held [June 11] at the Presbyterian Church in America\u2019s 51st General Assembly.
