Understanding Your Muslim Neighbour: Ramadan

In the West, Muslims are on the increase partly through migration and partly through a high birth rate. Jesus commissioned his church to go to all nations and teach them what he taught.
One of the most commonly asked questions I face in my ministry is:
‘How do we witness to Muslims?’
Understanding Islam and presenting a comparative picture to our Muslim neighbours, in my opinion, is the most effective way of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with our Muslim neighbours. Ramadan offers a unique opportunity to the church in this context.
"For Muslims, Ramadan is a month of devotion to Allah, during which they seek to please him by self-discipline, repentance, prayer, and generosity."

• The Feast Presents an Evangelistic Opportunity
  "Ramadan is one of the best opportunities for a respectful gospel-shaped interaction"
• Means of Muslim Conversion to Christ
• Show Interest and Care
• Accept Invitations to Iftar
• Offer Iftar
• Fast with your neighbour — but in the Christian Way
• Give Gifts
• Engage in Conversation/ Ask Questions
• Explain Why Christians Do Not Have the Equivalent of Ramadan
• Share About the Life of Jesus
  "for Muslims, the most attractive aspect of Christianity is the person of Jesus."
• Themes to discuss with Muslim neighbours
