Nagaland, a small state of India, nestled in the Himalayan foothills, is an anomaly for the region. Over 100 years ago, the people of Nagaland were headhunters until Baptist missionaries preached the gospel to them. Today, nearly 90 percent of the 2 million inhabitants of Nagaland are Christians. Global Initiative recently had the privilege of offering a Jonah Initiative training in a new intercultural studies program at the Nagaland Bible College where students are preparing to be church planters. Dr. Senty Ao, the president of the college, has a tremendous vision to see thousands of missionaries sent from her school….

“Feeling sorry and having a deep pain, seeing how [Muslims] live in darkness. I have an open heart towards them, strong wishes to see Christ changing their lives. Urgent involvement!”  After a recent Jonah Initiative training, that was a Romanian student’s response to the question: “What did God speak to you regarding reaching Muslims with the gospel?” Another student responded, “Yes! I am convinced God calls me to share the gospel with Muslims.” We are grateful to God that His Spirit is still leading Romanians to reach Muslims! Romania is a unique country that God has raised up to impact the Muslim…

I recently had the privilege of returning to Pakistan to do training through the Jonah Initiative. I am always humbled and pleased to see the incredible commitment of our brothers and sisters in Christ who live in the midst of persecution from Muslims. The church has learned that the power of the gospel comes from both persuasion and prayer. Without prayer, they know there is no hope to see their Muslims neighbors accept Jesus as the Truth! In one of our South Asian training locations, a pastor shared how he and other AG pastors have been holding Jumaa Prayer Fellowship…

This year’s #2020 Campaign is focusing on the work of Say Hello: Serving Muslim Women! Come back every day this month for guest posts and videos highlighting their ministry! We’ve always had big dreams at Say Hello. From the day we launched we knew God wanted us to resource Christian women with tools that would invite, equip and encourage them for sharing their faith with Muslim friends everywhere. Our focus at the beginning was solely Christian women.  We knew from experience that outreach to Muslim women would involve children, but when we began seeing how American school systems were adjusting…

Our team has been busy traveling to a neighboring area each month to establish a care group. Our Say Hello care groups are points of contact whereby Christian women who are outreaching to Muslim women—-or would like to do so—-regularly come together for spiritually focused and directed times of learning, sharing, planning, and interceding for said friendships. The results have been incredible! As women have come together, they have gained knowledge…
