Muslim People Coming To Faith in Jesus

I often make reference to the amazing move of the Holy Spirit in recent years by saying: "More Muslims have been baptized and come to faith in Jesus as God and Savior in the past thirteen years than in the previous thirteen centuries combined.:

Here are several recent resources that fill in information on this great work of God:

What I experienced over the next eight years was remarkable. Refugees were finding Jesus, and Muslims were dreaming about him. Eventually I moved to Athens and wrote a dissertation after doing hundreds of interviews and field research in migrant communities. God was at work in remarkable and undeniable ways. These stories overwhelmed me and led me to recruit Pete Hansen, producer and director of the popular Dispatches from the Front series, to capture them.

Jesus in Athens is a film that attempts to show some of what God is doing amid one of the largest movements of people in history. It’s a front-row seat to the hidden action of God. Afghans worshiping together. Iranians baptizing thousands of new believers. Greeks planting churches. Americans feeding and clothing refugees. These stories are just a small glimpse of the thousands of ways God is at work.

By the end of the first decade of the 21st century, reports of large-scale conversions of Muslims to the Christian faith were surfacing in many corners of the "House of Islam." Given the fact that conversion from Islam is a capital offense in many traditional Muslim communities, these reports of substantial movements merited attention.

I determined to investigate these reported phenomena on two fronts. First, I wanted to personally visit as many of these Muslim movements to the Christian faith as possible, guided by a questionnaire that would ferret out the secrets of why these individuals would risk their lives to change their religious allegiance. Second, as a Church historian with University of Chicago training, I knew I would need to explore the historical context of Muslim movements to Christ to see if what was occurring today was truly unique, or merely an oscillation of faith that had occurred from time to time in the 14-century ebb and flow of Islam.
