We’re all aching for some travel right now. Even just a road trip to another state sounds like a big adventure. Seeing as international travel, especially short-term mission trips may not pick up any time soon, here’s an idea: Canada. That’s right. That giant piece of land just north of the United States can offer…
Elijah was in a car in a South Asian country when the locals riding with him asked, “Can you tell us a story?” They had already discussed baptism the night before, so Elijah shared the story of “Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch” (Acts 8:26-40). The men Elijah rode with were a former Sufi Muslim leader…
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.

Maybe your calling to missions is to Texas? Who are the…
“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…
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)….
