#89: Loving Your Muslim Neighbor

1024 576 David Joannes

Tim Harris and his wife, Miriam, are the authors of Loving Your Muslim Neighbor, a riveting book that helps you understand God’s heart for people who adhere to the Islamic religion. They have a passion for sharing Jesus with Muslims and go where Muslims are in their area: university campuses, restaurants, gas stations, fruit and vegetable markets, homes, barber shops, and mosques. They have also traveled extensively throughout the Middle East (Jordan, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, Egypt, Qatar, the UAE, Pakistan, Turkey, Iraq, etc).

Tim talks about a number of hot topics, including:

  • How God is moving in the Muslim world! More Muslims have come to Christ in the last 20 years than in all 14 centuries of Islam combined. You won’t hear it on your nightly news, but God is moving in the hearts of Muslim people, in the US and all around the world.
  • Muslims are just people, like you and like me. They Just Need Jesus! So many Muslim people are friendly, kind, humble, helpful, and hospitable people but they still need Jesus to enter the kingdom of God.

Plus:

  • Be careful of stereotyping all Muslims in a certain way.
  • Many Muslims are searching. They want something more.
  • You might be the answer to a Muslim’s prayer!
  • Evangelism is a higher kingdom priority than patriotism

Tim and Miriam also speak in churches everywhere to educate, equip, and energize Christians to gain God’s great heart for Muslims and reach out to them with the love of Jesus. This is done primarily through their weekend “Bridging the Gap” outreach seminars.

Purchase Missions Pulse host David Joannes’ books, The Space Between Memories (2016), The Mind of a Missionary (2018), and Gospel Privilege (2020). These books will stir you to know God’s heart and join his mission. 

The Space Between Memories highlights the last two decades of David Joannes’ missionary travels. From the hullabaloo of Manila to the jam-packed city streets of Kunming to the rural villages of Southwest China, this part memoir, part travelogue shows God’s hand at work among the most unassuming of misfits. It is a testament that if only we would answer his call, his glory can be found, even in the space between memories.

“Moment by moment, story by story, The Space Between Memories is a captivating journey of the victories and trials of life as a missionary in China.” — HEIDI BAKER, Co-Founder of Iris Global

In Gospel Privilege, David Joannes shows that Jesus’ life-altering, culture-shaping, world-changing grace message brings unearned spiritual benefits for this life and the life to come. This book is a clarion call for the gospel- privileged to stand in advocacy for and in solidarity with the gospel- deprived; to step beyond our borders, even when it’s risky or uncomfortable, and share the rich privilege of knowing Christ.

“We must not hoard the message we have given to share with those who have not heard. It is our mandate. It is our mission. It is our sacred privilege. Such is the essence of Gospel Privilege by David Joannes.” — THOM S. RAINER, Founder and CEO of Church Answers and former President of LifeWay Christian Resources
