WHY OUTREACH?
Why should Christians do outreach?
Wouldn't we prefer if people came to us as Christians, complimented our radiant lives and asked us what we believe? Rarely that does happen - especially in restricted nations. But overall, it is neither reality nor what Jesus told us to do. He came to "seek and save the lost," and tells us to do the same! Jesus went into public to find people, get their attention, and share truth with them.
Christians wonder how we come across the internationals that we lead to Christ and disciple. Here Dr. Cynthia shares how. She and her teams reach out every way that you can imagine - outreach events, immigrant communities, campuses, ethnic festivals, mosques, temples of various religions, street festivals, community events and online videos. We share materials in their languages, often along with gifts or a coffee card. Plus, every day we take small stashes of materials in various languages with us about town.
However we connect, we let them know that we are Christian. This way they know the source of our love, concern, and smiles: there can be no charge of deception (2 Corinthians 4:2).
As Paul says in 2 Corinthians 2:14, we spread the fragrance of Christ in triumphal procession everywhere we go. Those who respond positively to our message we invite to meet with us again.
This, then is how we make disciples - OFF:
Outreach
Follow-up
Friendship

OUTREACH with STYLE

OUTREACH with STYLE Elsewhere we talk about why Christians should reach out to others. Here Dr. Cynthia explains that reaching out in a warm style helps receptivity. We should be confident, smile and be pleasant. Our actions should show that the message we share is good: it is important to us, and we bless them in sharing it! We believe Acts 17, where it says that God moves people around so the...
Upfront Right Off
Переглядів 303 місяці тому
When do you come out and tell people you are a Christian? Dr. Cynthia tells us that on outreach in America, she lets them know as soon as they meet. This is being "upfront right off." Much of the time people learn she is Christian because of the gospel material she gives distributes (more on this in other videos.) If it is a holiday outreach or back to campus outreach people will receive a gift...

Do you need to be sociable or outgoing to reach out to others for Jesus? Here Dr. Cynthia asks Luke how he, as an unsociable "nerd" is able to run a festival booth, sharing the gospel and apologetics with unbelievers one-on-one for hours without feeling self-conscious.

Let them Taste and Make Their Day!

MAKE THEIR DAY! As a Christian, when you meet someone, you can "Make their Day!" We hear "you made my day!" over and over - almost every time we bless someone with a kindness packet. Sometimes it brings tears to their eyes. Psychology says that before you can trust someone you must know that they are good. That is probably a reason why the most common verse in the Bible affirms that GOD is GOOD...
Learning to Balance Small Talk and Big Talk
Переглядів 1416 місяців тому
What are "small talk and big talk?" These words define almost anything that you say during the course of a day. For example, talking about the little details of life is considered small talk: the weather, what you ate, and what you might do for the weekend. On the other hand, "big talk" is talking about things that really matter in the long run - either on earth or after we die: science, politi...
Apologetics: Handling Negative Responses

Handling Negative Responses well is something that every practicing Christian needs to learn. While sharing and defending the gospel and challenging other faiths we get negative responses every day. But in today's world, just being known as a Christian brings criticism. As with so many things in life, expecting something and knowing how to respond makes a big difference in how you act, and the ...

As we share about Jesus, it is not just angry Muslims that we run into; sadly, we also meet intolerant Christians. In this short video Luke and Dr. Cynthia share how they handle these interactions.

Can Muslims Question Islam?

Can Muslims Question Islam? "Doubt is a sin. Allah will not be pleased with you. You just need to believe!" an Imam told a troubled Muslim who came to him, "Just take the Quran at face value." Georges Houssney opens the video with the story of this Moroccan young man. On his extensive travels throughout the Muslim world George has met hundred - even thousands - of Muslims who have been told the...
Can Christians Call God Allah?

Can Christians Call God Allah? This short but significant question arises out of confusion which has led to unnecessary debate. Here we answer it for you in a sensible way. Georges Houssney is a Christian who grew up speaking Arabic. He tells us clearly that Arab Christians use the word when they talk about God or pray to him - and they are referring to the God of the Bible. We are not saying t...
If They Had Stayed with Muslims

What if They had Stayed with Muslims? Did you know that several times in history Christians came close to Muslim leaders who invited them to stay and teach their people. But alas, they left. If they had stayed with Muslims, how might the world be a different place now? Let's look at three examples: Saint Francis is famous for his gentleness and love of animals. In 1219 A.D. Francis crossed batt...

WHY I REJECTED ISLAM Raised in a Muslim country with Muslim friends and culture, Georges had many opportunities to convert to Islam.

Out of this confusion, he began wondering what religions taught, and if any religion were a...
Does Perfect Arabic Prove the Quran?
Переглядів 23710 місяців тому
Does Perfect Arabic Prove the Quran? Islam claims that the Quran is both in perfect Arabic and inimitable. In fact, these are given as major criteria that the Quran gives for its authenticity. The other proof is its claim that Christians and Jews should be referred to for its authentication. This, of course, as we have seen in other videos, they do not do. So, we have in this video an Arabic ex...

Can Allah's Word be Changed? Georges Houssney is sad when Muslims tell him that they cannot touch the Bible because it has been changed. He then asks them how they know it has been corrupted? When? By whom? Not one has been able to answer this because it is only a rumor. Georges then shares with them how the Quran actually affirms the Bible. For example, Surah 6:114, 115 says that the Word of G...
Women Prophets Challenge Islam

WOMEN PROPHETS CHALLENGE the QURAN There is a little-known, but important disagreement between the Quran and the Bible on whether or not women prophets exist. It may seem like a small thing, but actually the reliability of the Quran partly stands upon this issue. This is especially so because the same Quranic verse which says prophets are only men, says to ask those who had Scripture before - t...

Why Do good People Suffer? with Former Muslim Antonio
Christianity and Islam are both antiwhite. Odin, Thor, Freya, and so on, these are our gods.
Hi Cynthia~ I am K from UK. Yes! We have to reach out to the lost not just waiting for them to come to church activities or programs. We can share about our Lord Jesus wherever we go like at the bus stops, on the trains and on the unlimited places. Thank you for your great tips for the evangelists like us❤
Thank you for your agreement and encouraging words!
Allah isnt just in Islam , Arab Christians also say Allah in the Arabic language.
he he he iam a goan catholic but like you
The muslim god is real, it is a real religion, in christianity we just call their god by his christian name, satan.
I am an Arab from Libya. I left Islam and live in disguise as a Muslim so as not to be killed. In my city, a young man who left Islam and converted to Christianity was punished and imprisoned until he returned to Islam. There was another young man who they killed because he left Islam and became an atheist, and this was done according to Islamic Sharia law (the punishment for apostasy). Unfortunately, many of those who leave Islam end up committing suicide because society does not accept them. I hope to immigrate to a better place. I do not think that I can bear to lie to myself and live a depressing life against my will. If I do not have the opportunity to immigrate, I think that I will commit suicide like everyone else.
Gonna convert my Muslimah mother to Christianity
May the Lord guide and assist you! The videos on our website will help: www.ChristianfromMuslim.com.

I m sorry if you were living among blind followers n they couldn't teach you the way of the truth (islam)
It's wrong to say all Muslims or most Muslims just minority specially the shia in Iran they have these occultism
Islam and Mohammed are the problem. They all want to enjoy American system and yet they want to change America to the Islamic system they are running away from.

Is the Gospel the word of God? Quran 5:47 So let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed in it. And those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are ˹truly˺ the rebellious. Ok, so it is the word of God. Then what does the Gospel have to say about the Quran? Galatians 1:8-9 NKJV [8] But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. [9] As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. Ok, so the Gospel tells me the Quran is false. But it had to be corrupted, right? Quran 18:27 Recite what has been revealed to you from the Book of your Lord. None can change His Words, nor can you find any refuge besides Him. Ok, so nobody can change God's words. So if the Gospel isn't the word of God, the Quran is false because it says that it is, and if it is the word of God, the Quran is false anyway because the Gospel tells us not to believe it.
i want to leave islam but I'm scared I want someone to teach me about Christian because i don't feel comfortable with islam
The more I learned about Islam, the more I wanted to leave it
This… seems so fake lol
What is fake?
@@christianfrommuslimGod doesn't take human sacrifice that's why Ismail peace be upon him was replaced by a ram , fake gods of few cultures take human sacrifice , plus God doesn't need a sacrifice of any human to give salvation , He can give salvation to whomever He wills , every individual is responsible for their own deeds n will be held accountable , the only path to salvation is repentance
Good 👍I admire this braveness and honesty. A ray of light can kill thousand nights
Thank you! We pray that it does.
I have a serious question about a woman's hair. Should she never cut her hair? I don't see any problem with it. Thanks.
We don't see a problem with a woman cutting her hair. Although many Christians think it should not be as short as a man's.

Leaving Islam it was hard for me but finally I did it. Having sex with 6 or 9 years old girls is not my believe. Im not pedophile. I read Quran in my language( persian) 3 times and realized whats going on in this horrible religious. Thank God ❤❤
PTL! May the Lord strengthen and encourage you every day. Note: if you understand English and haven't already been discipled, check out the videos on our UA-cam channel and website. They were made for former Muslims like you! If you watch the videos on our "Lessons" page, you will get a full discipleship program. These have study guides on the website (www.ChristianfromMuslim.com). And, we have many short videos like this one with Christina as well.
that's why someone once said. don't take all advice from elderlies because fools also grow old.
OK. Read al Ma'ida, surah 5:101
No one with brain and heart can leave Islam. I am sorry for you who did.
Those who use their brain will see that there are many variants of the Quran - even after Uthman burnt all those that rivaled his. Those who use their brain will ask themselves: why are people unequal in Islam - women, unbelievers, slaves, etc. Those who use their brain will fear that they will not be good enough to escape hell. After all, Sunni teachers have said that one hair out of the hijab results in 40,000 years in hell. Those with a heart will wonder why Allah does not love everyone, like the God of the Bible does. Those with a heart will want to be loved. They will be attracted to the God who, as a loving heavenly Father took responsibility for the misdeeds (hateya) of his creatures on the cross. They will want to walk with him every day on earth, assured of his presence, and be forever with him in heaven.
@@christianfrommuslim You speak without any knowledge about Islam apparently, just stereotypes... Please make the effort of doing some basic research about Islam you will understand and change your mind. But if you just want to tell lies and believe them, then I can't help you I'am afraid. Good luck seeking the truth. There is no god but GOD and Muhammad is his slave and final messenger.
@@moathejhe961Look how cute a human you are ! Mohammad designed a book based on human emotions lust , fear ,greed and other psychology prospects,, where one someone tries to question Islam Mohammad said an imaginary Satan is on the head , so he must feel the( guilt), where someone tries to leave Islam is executed (fear) , where people are given greed of Jannat (hoors, bear and other worldly pleasures, ,, a simple human is just a emotional being , when falls gets trapped in the cult & can't come out. You know What brother when you are born with these teachings since childhood it takes courage to leave Islam , you should respect ex- Muslim , cause they have evolved over you
How much did you get payed for denying the truth and accepting the lies ? Really how much ?
To leave Islam is to be punished, - even killed. You know that. Who would do that for money? Christina has suffered threats and attempts on her life. She was not bribed - except with knowing the love of God.
You know nothing about Islam,you just repeat hater's propaganda... I am muslim women who lives between America and Africa, I am free and I do what I want with my life... Go and know before you attack people with nonsense.
Arabic speaking Christians have been calling God Allah, long before the advent of Islam
Great tips. Also check out The Master and His Emissary by McGilchrist to learn more about left and right brain thinking.
Gbu all
no one leave Islam, Islam leaves them. Hamza Yusuf
He says that because of 2 reasons: 1. Muslims are programmed to think people only join Islam - not leave it. More and more they see the opposite. 2. In the Quran, everything is predestined, and Allah leads people astray. The God of the Bible wants everyone to be saved. (Bible, 2 Peter 3:9)
Islam=💩💩💩
Islam=💩💩💩
Why just don't you simply use the Word "Alohe, Alohe" wich was Jesus used in those horrific days to begg His Mighty God?
I'm a Muslim from Africa and never experienced such things you are saying but I don't deny there are people who are involved in it. Islam is strictly monotheistic and the people doing those practices are sinning and going against the teachings of Islam. Just like they're many christians who don't follow it's teachings
If Allah was real, then you would hear from him because the god of Abraham didn’t just speak to Prophets. Jesus promised to be found by his followers. Jeremiah 29:13 He is the true god of Abraham. Jesus is God. Plenty of verses to reference for the truth. He saved me in 2015. verses: Matthew 1:23 - “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 43:10,11 - “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no Savior.” Revelation 1:17-18; Revelation 2:8 - (Jesus is the First and the Last) Isaiah 44:6 - (God is the Redeemer) 2 Peter 1:1 (Jesus is the Redeemer) - “To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ” Isaiah 44:24 - (God created the world by Himself alone) John 1:3; Colossians 1:16 - (Jesus made all things) John 1:1-3 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made... 1:14 - And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, John 5:17,18 - “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.” Therefore the Jews sought to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. John 5:23 - that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. John 8:24 - “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I AM [He], you will die in your sins.” John 8:58 - Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” John 10:30-33 - Jesus answered them, “I and My Father are one.” Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?” The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.” John 14:6-7 - Jesus said to him, “I AM the way, the truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:9-11 - Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?” John 20:28 - And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Acts 4:12 - “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 20:28 - (God purchased us with His own blood) Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:8-9 - (Jesus' blood purchased us) Philippians 2:5-7 - Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond-servant, and coming in the likeness of men. Colossians 2:9 - For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily 1 Timothy 3:16 - And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. Titus 2:13 - looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ Hebrews 1:8-9 - But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” 2 John 1:7 - For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Revelation 1:8 - “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 22:13 - “I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”... 22:16 - “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches.” 1 Timothy 6:14-16 - “our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.”

Assalamualaikum alaikum salaam I,m Christian
God impregnated Mary with himself, To give born to himself, Then pray to himself, To fulfill himself, And even sacrifice himself to himself, Then turn back the kingdom he gave from himself to himself, To sit at the right hand side of himself.
Friend, you misunderstand God's plan of redemption. We wonder what you read, or who taught you to view it this way. Perhaps there some question that we could answer?
@@christianfrommuslim redemption is a fallacy, and every human is responsible for his/her own deeds. Satan has tricked mankind into believing this and will continue to trick mankind until end of the world. Repent to God directly as God is the Most Gracious and Most Merciful. May God forgives as God is the Most Forgiving. The same God of Adam. Of Noah. Of Abraham, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, and God of Jesus who created Jesus as a servant and a prophet.
I also left Islam

Here Muslim brothers, remember that Quranic verses: [2:6] Surely those who disbelieve, it being alike to them whether you warn them, or do not warn them, will not believe. [2:7] Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing and there is a covering over their eyes, and there is a great punishment for them. [2:8] And there are some people who say: We believe in Allah and the last day; and they are not at all believers. [2:9] They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, and they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive. [2 : 10] There is a disease in their hearts, so Allah added to their disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they lied.❤
So so helpful. Thank you so much.
Thank you! For more on Muslim evangelism and discipleship see our lessons. They cover basically everything that you need. Her is the link: www.christianfrommuslim.com/lessons/ these are also available on UA-cam.
I agree with the point of the video and I’m not being critical but I sincerely wonder why we can’t just redirect to Yahweh since that’s his personal name. Since they claim to worship the God of the Jews, they won’t be offended if you call God Yahweh, right?
My inspiration ❤
May the Lord bless and guide you.
