That helps them get to paradise if they can convert a Christian. Just culturally, they're hospitable. So it's just built in. And third, they don't want you to think that they are all terrorists. So they want to put on a good, you know, show their good side. Right. And so but yeah, I think that I do not recommend to your listeners just to walk up to a mosque and go in.

um you need to go with it with at least one other person and i highly highly recommend that you call the mosque first and make an appointment and just tell them hey i'm a follower of jesus jesus tells us to love our neighbor and i would just love to come and meet you and learn more about what you believe And and then people just need to pray first because Islam is very enticing.

Don't try to go and win an argument when you're there. Don't. And I really think don't go with the sole purpose of, quote unquote, dumping the gospel on people. You know, if a Muslim visited your church, you wouldn't want them to come in and loudly or rudely try to convert you to Islam. You would respect them much more if they just watched, they were observant, they asked questions respectfully.

And so we need to do the same. So yeah, we need to go with humility, be good listeners. And then sometimes the Lord does, there's like a gap or an opening or a nudge from the Holy Spirit to just share something of the gospel. And we've done that many times, but

Yeah, we really recommend your listeners, if you want to visit a mosque, make an appointment, go as a group, never go by yourself, and just go and be the light of Jesus. Go with his kind of beautiful humility and strength.

Yeah, so this was in August of 2012, and my outreach partner and I, Gary, we would very often visit a Muslim guy that had his own auto repair place. His name was Amir. And so we went and visited them one day, and they were actually getting ready to go to the mosque. It was a Friday, and Friday is the big day for Muslims to go to the mosque. It's usually a midday day.

Somewhat like the last story of the guy in the mosque. He was just preaching Islam at me. And this doesn't happen too often, but occasionally you'll find a Muslim that just they don't want a discussion. They don't want a dialogue. They just want to kind of defeat you. by just overpowering you with words and trying to wear you down until you become a Muslim.
