Pastor Barron Greenwalt emphasizes the urgency of the Great Commission, urging churches to equip congregations in evangelism across diverse religions now present in communities. En-Joy Ministries offers comprehensive training resources to help believers share the gospel effectively.
The article by Pastor Barron Greenwalt highlights key theological differences between Islam and Christianity, focusing on beliefs about sin, salvation, and the identity of Jesus. While Islam teaches that humans are born sinless and salvation relies on good works and Allah’s mercy, Christianity asserts that all are born sinners and salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Greenwalt emphasizes the importance of approaching Muslims with respect, utilizing shared reverence for Jesus to explore deeper theological truths. He encourages Christians to share the assurance of salvation offered in the Bible and to engage in meaningful conversations that emphasize the nature of God and the role of prayer.
As Pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I highlight the urgent mission field: Islam, with 1.6 billion adherents (23% of the world), grows at 1.86% annually, outpacing Christianity’s 1.31% (Gordon-Conwell, 2015). By 2050, 2.9 billion Muslims are projected (Pew, 2015). The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) calls us to disciple all nations, yet many churches fail, ignoring Hebrews 5:14’s call to be “skilful by reason of use.” Without training to evangelize Muslims, leadership falters (Proverbs 29:18). Join En-Joy Ministries as we equip believers—will you rise to the harvest (Luke 10:2)?
