Action & Impact: February update
How can I connect easily with Muslims?
What are the things I need to know, to avoid being culturally insensitive?
How can we be praying together for Muslims at this time?
Being online has changed everything - how can I connect with others?
There can be so many questions about how to connect with Muslims, build friendships and demonstrate God’s love.
Mahabba is in the business of envisioning and equipping Christians to love their Muslim neighbours. A key part of our work is signposting Christians to the resources that can equip them to reach out.
This month we’re highlighting the work of our RESOURCE CIRCLE who develop articles, podcasts, tools and creative ideas, that are equipping Christians to share God’s love with Muslims
Podcasts
Hearing a personal testimony brings encouragement, inspiration and often a few good ideas to take away. Our Resource Circle has been busy recording interviews and stories with various people across the Mahabba network.
This month, our podcast From Nowhere to Network is from a university dental lecturer, who got to know the Muslim students and started Christian/Muslim friendships and discussions.
Addressing Mental Health
Trauma and harm are not respecters of faith backgrounds, ethnicity or gender and the statistics, even within the church, are staggering.
It is vital that we make mental health, wholeness and sound discipleship a key part of our work with believers from Muslim backgrounds.
Our Resource Page has helpful tools for awareness, equipping, supporting, and being able to walk with others with mental health issues, including abuse and trauma backgrounds. See Resources for Addressing Mental Wellbeing.
Apps for Sharing Faith
Social Media and online tools are becoming more and more necessary - during Covid restrictions, but also as we reach out to technology-engaged generations.
Our Resource Circle has sourced some fantastic new apps that are available to help Christians share faith in simple ways with Muslims, including gospel presentations and films in multiple languages.

Develop resources and maintain our website, so that Christians can be equipped
