"The witness of the Frontiers workers is a source of inspiration and encouragement.

"If you really want to learn to lean on God and see His mighty power displayed across cultural barriers while having a ridiculous amount of fun, you should probably sign up [for a short-term trip]!"
"God is proving to be the constant that He is in the world. It is encouraging to hear how He is moving in the Muslim world."
- a Frontiers financial partner
"The exposure you get through short-term service is incredible. To throw oneself into a world ignorantly is sometimes the wisest thing you can do."
"As donors, we are excited by the strategic impact Frontiers is having in fulfilling the Great Commission among Muslims, and we want a greater sense of ownership."
"Frontiers' ministry to people that live in 'closed' countries excites me! Knowing that they have NGOs [nonprofits] trained and dedicated to reach these people makes Frontiers quite valuable."
- a Frontiers financial partner
"Because Frontiers has a proven track record of engaging the Muslim world with integrity and evangelical effectiveness, we are joyous partners in prayer and sharing of finances."
"Frontiers has our enthusiastic support (prayer and finances) for taking the Good News to Muslims. We are so thankful for the many God is calling to go and who are saying, 'Yes!'"

Mahur People Group

Like the Kunjra and Maithili Shaikh, the Mahur people live in the Indian state of Bihar. They are a Bengali people group who are found mostly in southern Bihar, not far from the state of West Bengal.

Bengalis are concentrated mostly in the country of Bangladesh and in the Indian state of West Bengal, but there are significant populations of them in other Indian states, including Bihar.

While Islam is clearly the dominant religion among Bengalis, it is the second most-practiced religion in Bihar behind Hinduism. Many Muslims in Bihar today have come to Islam from Hinduism, and the vast majority belong to the lower classes suffering oppression by society. Bihari Muslims are socially classified based on the caste system, and many Muslims of these lower castes practice a blend of Islam and Hinduism.
