GNFCW Banquet - 2013  

      

 

We are so thankful to the Lord who has guided and provided for GNFCW over the last 26 years. "Thus far the LORD has helped us" (1 Sam. 7:12). At the same time, we are so thankful to GNFCW friends, supporters, intercessors and partners, since without God and you we can do nothing. The tangible presence of God as well as yours coming alongside us really made the banquet a tremendously blessed one. It is this time of the year when we share with the community of believers the annual report of the ministry and the vision for the coming year, and we ask God to sustain us with the tasks he entrusted to us. GNFCW with all its faculty are so grateful to everyone who attended, gave, prayed and supported our endeavor of reaching the Muslims God has brought to our community with the glorious gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.


  Meeting Them On Their Ground



In our post-September-eleven world, one of the most important contributions we can make is respectful and courageous outreach to Muslims. Sadly though, less than one percent of the church evangelistic effort is directed to Muslims. The number one reason for this lack is the propagation of fear. GNFCW, however, stands in sharp contrast with this trend permeating our culture by visiting the mosque. The goal is to break fear barriers, encourage interaction and create opportunities for witnessing on site. If you have a passion to understand Muslims, build a friendship with them, and ultimately share Christ with them, please call us at 817-455-1635, or email us [email protected] to help you with the calling God has for your life.

Training At GNFCW Office


From recent statistics, the media, and culture talk, we hear that Muslims, in huge numbers, are flooding every aspect of the American life. Though this should alert us, it must not to be in the same manner as fear-mongers who are permeating our society with misconceptions, saying that all Muslims are jihadists who came to destroy America and our way of living. Though there is an element of violence in Islam, the majority of Muslims, thankfully, adhere to common sense over killing innocent people. However, if we remain indifferent, radical Islamists will reach out to pacifist Muslims and use them to spread radical Islam in the United States. The need to evangelize Muslims has never been as urgent as today. It is impossible for one ministry like GNFCW to do the task alone. This is the main reason for starting a Three-Fold Training program. One of its main elements is to train as many Christians as possible to become part of a broadly-based outreach to Muslims. If you are interested in participating in this training, please call us at 817-275-3413, or email us at [email protected]. Many blessings!


Reaching Our Communities

At GNFCW, part of our ministry is to connect with like-minded organizations that endeavor to reach the communities with the message of hope. One of those organizations, 6 Stones, sponsors a Back-Pack event every year, distributing a variety of school materials and supplies. During the event, hundreds of Muslim families visit to take free back-packs and school supplies for their children. Our part during the event is to witness to as many Muslims as possible by means of distributing Bibles and tracts that are written in a way that is easy to read and comprehensible to the Muslim heart and mind. During this year's event, we had the chance to witness and pray with hundreds of Muslims and developed friendship with many as well. If you have it on your heart to serve Muslims in the community and do not know where to start, please call us at 817-275-3413, or email us at [email protected]. Many blessings!        


Equipping Churches


A very vital part of GNFCW's effort is to equip the church for the work of ministry among Muslims. God has called the church to accomplish His purposes which one of the most important is witnessing to the lost, including Muslims. We are thankful to the Lord for raising GNFCW to serve and equip the church for such a time as this. Moreover, we are so grateful to the churches who believe in the mission of GNFCW and are opening their doors for us to come and serve that goal of equipping the saints for Muslim understanding and outreach. It is our passion to come alongside your church as well to assist you in your efforts as you strive to be faithful in fulfilling the Great Commission among the Muslims God has sent to our communities. To do so, please call us at 817-275-3413, or email us at [email protected]. Many blessings!
