Jews telling Muslims about Jesus

Being a Jew is a very good background for being able to share Jesus with Muslims - "as long as they don't know that you're Jewish" ☺. For MBBs (Muslim Background Believers) to be welcomed into Christian Arabic churches is difficult and often dangerous for the churches.

"We must provide a network of homes and places where new believers (MBBs) can be fed and sheltered, enjoying fellowship with their brothers and sisters in the faith ... And Jewish believers must welcome and edify their new brothers and sisters in the faith as part of'the universal ecclesia; if the Jewish people are not present in the churches, the churches will disappear."

(Martin Goldsmith and Judith Rood, Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism, LCJE Bulletin, September 2011)
