Yet they are also firsthand witnesses of a whole new trend that is taking shape in missions to Muslims.

Reema takes us deep inside her Arab neighborhood to show how God is opening doors in just one of many Islamic communities.

He contemplated suicide as a boy when he developed a debilitating disease. He was constantly hounded and hunted which forced him into hiding for months at a time. He was arrested and beaten severely.

Through the stories of these early saints, you'll learn that drawing others to Christ doesn't have to involve specific steps or persuasive words. In fact, when God's love fills your heart, it overflows naturally into the lives of those around you and creates in them an irresistible yearning to experience it for themselves.

If you put two elephants in a room together and close the door, in 22 months you may get one baby elephant. But two rabbits together for the same amount of time will result in thousands of baby rabbits! In The Rabbit and the Elephant, "micro church" planters Tony and Felicity Dale use the "rabbit" illustration to show the pace at which the Christian faith can (and should) be growing - through evangelism that is explosive and transformational.

When you've been transformed by God's love, you can't help but want others to experience the same grace and freedom. But how do you share it without scaring them away or offending them? For most Christians, "evangelism" is an intimidating word that suggests handing out tracts to strangers or doing other awkward things. But what if there was a more organic, more authentic way to share your faith with your friends, neighbors, and coworkers? Dave and Jon Ferguson have found five simple, straightforward practices that will allow any believer to do just that.

Many people see Mormons as just another branch of the Christian church, and to be admired, perhaps, for their family life, morality, and upright culture. But the theology and spirituality of this cult are very far from an orthodox biblical understanding of true saving faith. And yet Christians are often fearful of engaging in conversations about the Gospel with Mormons, knowing that there are suspicions and complex issues that lie beneath the surface.

Many Christians are alarmed by the decline in church attendance and seek a culprit. Too often, we point the finger away from the church, make culture the enemy, and build walls between us and others. But our antagonism and enemy-making are toxins that further eat away at our witness. Is there a better way? Tara Beth Leach could easily be one of those millennials giving up on the church.
