Friday Chapel – Muslims and the Church Continued

Friday chapel continued our emphasis for the week – the church’s responsibility and relationship with the Muslim world. The singing was led by English faculty Joey Charles and first-year student Asia Oshiro and concluded with a rousing rendition of “He Reigns.” Paul from North Africa shared about his family’s life ministering to his Muslim neighbors in North Africa through a slide show and stories. He presented a holistic ministry that develops real relationships with the people around him and blesses them, not only spiritually by bringing Christ to them, but economically, socially and in many other ways. He sees this as the best strategy for reaching the Muslim world for Christ. It was exciting to hear about what God is doing in the lives of real people in the Muslim world through regular people who are willing to go. He ended with a challenge to the PIU students that if he could do it – they could do too. He reminded them that in the 20th century Micronesia was “the ends of the earth” and people brought the Gospel to them. In return they should consider going to the Muslim world, “the ends of the earth” for the 21st century.
