Islam is one of the fastest growing religions on earth with over a billion followers, yet ministry among Muslims is by far the most neglected mission field. Over 80 percent of all Muslims have never heard the Gospel.
Some reports claim that as little as one percent of the world missionary force is working among them. This means that there is about one Christian missionary for every one million Muslims. The church has more missionaries working among Alaska’s 400,000 residents than in the entire Muslim world!
Turn on the news and you will see continuing turmoil in Tunisia, political unrest in Egypt and violence in Libya. We see and hear the political struggles but the real battle is spiritual.

rd will soon challenge the powers of darkness in a new way. The Digital Bible Society plans to release both Arabic and Farsi Treasures on March 21, 2011. Originally, Arabic Treasures was intended to be a down-loadable CD but will be released as a computer “chip” that will contain 300 hours of video, 1000 hours of audio as well as printed materials (Bibles, books, and commentaries) . We would encourage you to check out the website for the Digital Bible society at www.dbsbible.org. Technology can go where missionaries are not allowed and can be obtained in the privacy of one’s home without fear of persecution.

We would encourage you to become familiar with this resource and share it with everyone you know (especially Muslim friends and acquaintances). Pray without ceasing for those involved in producing and distribution. Remember this is a spiritual battle….things happen, people get hurt. Now is the time to pray, to give, “to proclaim liberty to the captives” of the Arab/Muslim world .
