Communities where Christ is least known

Muslim Diaspora

Thank God for the many opportunities of globalisation. Though many governments have shut their doors to missionaries, thousands of their workers and professionals have gone overseas. As an engine of growth in the world’s economy, Asia sees many foreigners coming to our shores to work and to live. Almost every nationality is represented in all major cities. In particular, one group of diaspora that deserves our special attention is the Muslim diaspora.

It is often difficult for missionaries to enter Muslim countries and to make Christ known to them. But God has allowed them to come to our cities in large numbers. For example, it is estimated that about 400,000 Muslim migrants live in Taiwan, and more than one million in Malaysia.

Pray that churches and Christians will take note of the Muslim diaspora and engage them with the Gospel. Pray for God to send additional missionaries to these major cities to share the gospel with the Muslim diaspora while they are still relatively open and easy to encounter
