Yeah, I like how you said, you know, battle for them on your knees. That's something we definitely have to focus on is prayer. Everything we do has to be saturated in prayer. Like nothing else, just saturated in prayer day in, day out. That's it. Just prayer. But I want to do something a little different.

I want to go back one chapter because we just did forty nine and I want to go back to chapter forty eight. And it was kind of out of order by my mistake because I'm a human. But I think it's actually going to fit perfectly. And you titled the chapter. Are you having success in your ministry to Muslims? And.

But I think it's actually going to fit perfectly. And you titled the chapter. Are you having success in your ministry to Muslims? And.

I think the only way I want to answer that question, in my opinion, is I think the only way that we can have success in our ministry to Muslims is to be on our knees, praying daily, asking the Holy Spirit to intervene whenever needed and to give us the words to say at the time it needs to be said.

and and i think that goes for anyone in ministry it doesn't have to just be muslims it's any type of ministry stay on your knees stay in prayer stay in the word and stay in fellowship with christ amen yeah that's so cool yeah we i i mentioned the chapter when i was a boy i was i was so fascinated by a character i i got a little book at school and it was by uh johnny appleseed

that lived in the late 1700s, and he planted apple seeds all over part of the eastern U.S. and the Midwest. And I think that one problem a lot of Christians, followers of Jesus have, is that they think that they're not being successful in evangelism unless someone you know, praise the prayer, so to speak, or becomes a follower of Jesus.

And instead, I just love the whole idea that a lot of us are gifted to plant seeds. And I want to read, if I could, a definition that I really love related to quote-unquote successful evangelism, because you have to define success. And so this is by a man named Paul Hazelden. It's on page 245 of this chapter.

He says this, if you understand something of the journey a person must take in order to discover God, then you know that helping someone take one more step towards God is successful evangelism just as much as helping them over the final line. Yeah.

And so I want that to sink in for your listeners that evangelizing Muslim people or anybody, but especially as we're talking about Muslim people, it's a process. And really, it can be a long process. It can take years.

But doesn't this just bring, I mean, this definition, doesn't it bring just this new freedom and encouragement that, hey, if you help a person, if the Holy Spirit uses you to bring a Muslim person one step closer to Jesus, that is successful evangelism.

I like that, you know, and because I was going to ask you, well, how would you even measure success when when you're ministering to Muslims? Like what would be the the measuring stick, if you will, to measure such success when it comes to ministering to Muslims?
