“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)….
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.

Nik Ripken, a veteran missionary and author of the “The Insanity of God,” wants us…
The Soninke have a substantial presence in New York City and Cincinnati. Many of them come from the country of Mali. There might be only one Soninke church in the world (and Islamic militant activity in the area prevents Christians from frequently meeting). Join us in prayer today for the 20,000 that live in North…
Somali Bantu have suffered for generations from slavery, abuse, and mistreatment. Today, many are in the United as refugees along with Somalis. These two groups–Somali and Somali Bantu–are distinct.
