"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."

"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!'"

Recommended Resources

Since 9/11, hundreds of books have been written about Islam and its followers. Much of this literature, written by Christians and non-Christians:

  • caters to the idea that Muslims should be feared by people in the West.
  • focuses on theological dividing points between Islam and Christianity.
  • trumpet conspiracy theories.

Though many of these books are well-intentioned, we believe that God’s people should fear God more than men, and we have a high calling to love and pray for people that most of the world would call “enemy.” In these ways, we need to stand apart from the world.

Here are a few resources Frontiers recommends to help overcome fear of Muslims and learn more about God’s heart/plan for them and peoples from other nations.

Let the Nations Be Glad

by John Piper

"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate."--John Piper

Let the Nations Be Glad! has become a modern missions classic. A trusted resource for thousands of missionaries, pastors, church leaders, and laypeople, it provides a biblical basis for missions and worship. This third edition has been expanded to include timely new material on the prosperity gospel.
