Manarah
gives you the opportunity to learn about Islam and its followers in
the morning and then share Christ with them in their living room in
the evening. Each summer, committed missionaries, church leaders and
sincere Christians like you immerse themselves in this program, based
in the Greater Detroit metropolitan area.
Experienced
missionaries teach about the religion, history and culture of these
peoples, as well as how to effectively communicate the gospel to them.
But the learning doesn’t end with classroom instruction. Every
evening students apply what they are learning. They visit surrounding
neighborhoods to meet Muslims living in the area. Manarah participants
experience Asian hospitality, learn how to build relationships in another
culture, and reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
