Leading Southern Baptists to a New North American Mission Field

Abdul, one of our Southern Baptist missionaries, has answered God's call on his life to point Muslims to the truth of Christ. As you can imagine, it is a very challenging and dangerous mission field. But with God's blessings, he has seen more than a dozen Muslims come to a saving knowledge of Christ in the last three years. But in carrying out his ministry, Abdul has placed his safety and that of his children at risk. One morning they awoke to dead birds on their doorstep. The birds' throats had been slit — a threat that the same could happen to him if he continued sharing Christ. He has had to relocate his apartment several times after landlords discovered his ministry and told him to leave.
