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.

Join us to pray for the Wolof Muslims of New York City. The Wolof are the largest West African Muslim group in New York City. They are from Senegal where there has been decades of missionary work with very few Wolof choosing to follow Jesus. They practice a mystical (Sufi) form of Islam known as…
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.

What do you think of when you think of Texas? Guns? Weird Austin? Border disputes? Chris Clayman?

The Mandinka come from West Africa. Most are from the Gambia, but they also have a significant population in Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Benin, Ghana, Great Britain, and the United States. According to the UPG Priority Matrix, there’s about 5,000 Mandinka Muslims in NYC without any believers or relevant churches among them. So as a starting point…
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)….
Afghanistan is a country with a rich history. It’s located in the middle of several other civilizations: Iran to the West, India and Pakistan to the South, Mongolia and China to the East, Tajikistan and the former Soviet countries to the North.

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.
