Did you know?

Islam is the largest non-Christian faith in Wales?  According to the most recent published census, Wales currently has 22,000 members within its borders.  As of 2001, Wales had around 40 mosques total and more recently a college for training clerics was established in the town of Llanybydder.

What does that mean for our family?  Well, in addition to learning more about the Welsh culture before we arrive in Wales, we’ll also be learning more about the Islamic faith and how to effectively reach out with the truth.

We are blessed to have neighbors here in the States who are on furlough from England.  Their ministry focuses heavily in the Islamic culture of their city.  I heard him ask a group of kids at a church one time how they think we are to treat the Muslims, when God allows are paths to cross.  He then taught them this acronym:

I  –  I

S –  Sincerely

L  –  Love

A  –  All

M  –  Muslims

Isn’t that the truth?!?!  God loves them and wants to see them in heaven with Him.  Who will tell them??  We cannot wait to get to the field and share with them the personal relationship possible with Jesus Christ.
