One of my favorite parts of summer has been slowing down for quiet mornings with my toddlers and a good book. Lately, one of our favorites has been Every Nation by Sarah Nunnally. Since before my kids could talk, my husband and I have been teaching them simple truths about God. One of the phrases we repeat…
North Carolina’s Triangle – Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill – is an East Coast version of Silicon Valley. This area is home to the Research Triangle Park, major universities, world-class healthcare, global businesses, engineering research and jobs, and computer and tech companies. This makes the Triangle an immigration hub for Hindus from India. Global Gates’…
How was your Easter? It certainly felt odd to not be able to celebrate the resurrection of Christ with my church family. For Muslims this month, they will suffer an acute loss of community. Ramadan begins today. This month is typically a great time for Christians to share the love of Jesus with Muslim friends….
Global Gates interviewed missionary Nik Ripken, who is the author of “The Insanity of God.” The contents from the interview were crafted into a multi-part series of articles titled “Nik Ripken, Muslim Background Believers, and the West.” We believe this series is a helpful resource that God can use to equip the American church in…
In communist China the government is the primary persecutor of Christians. In Islam, however, the family members of Muslim background believers are the chief persecutors. Author and missionary Nik Ripken said unless we reach the entire family for Jesus, then there is not much hope for a single believer to thrive in that context. “If…
It is important to follow a proven model for discipleship and multiplication. This is true for work with Muslim background believers and ministry in the heart of Islam.

“Assalamu Alaykum” means “Peace be upon you,” and “Walaikum Salaam” means “And unto you peace.” This exchange is the common Arabic greeting and response throughout the Muslim world. It’s an easy way for western Christians to begin building rapport with Muslims. When author and missionary Nik Ripken is in a Muslim country for the first…
Fear can be a liar. It can deceive us when we don’t guard our hearts with vigilance (Pr. 4:23) and cast our cares on the One who cares for us (1 Pt. 5:7). Satan, the father of lies (Jn. 8:44), preys on fear. But God’s Word says perfect love casts out fear (1 Jn. 4:18)….
As we learned from Nik Ripken, Muslim Background Believers, and the West: “Should Christians Pray for Persecution to Stop?” (Part One of Six), Christians in the western world are often praying for persecution around the globe to end without asking for God’s will to be done. Ripken, an author and missionary, also warned that Satan…
“The church must stop doing what it’s doing. The church continues to pray for persecution to stop, but the only way God can answer that prayer is to stop people from coming to Christ.” Nik Ripken, a veteran missionary and author of The Insanity of God among other resources, said these words to me after…
