I’ve been evangelized by Muslims more than I can count. We’ve had some very good discussions, some very creepy. What’s heartening is there are Muslims, under penalty of death, who are followers of Christ.

It was confusing to me at first, too. There are Islamic countries that by law everyone is Muslim. Yet some hear the Good News and believe. For that they can be sentenced to death, even for something like reading bible verses online. So technically they are Muslim, but Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior.

Euro Reliefs director, Stefanos Samiotakis, said: I have already taken action, so that our volunteers know very well that they should not distribute any kind of literature. Our code of conduct
says clearly that this is something they simply cannot do and if somebody does we are going as an organisation [to] take disciplinary actions. I don't understand Christians that want to submit themselves to organizations that refuses the spread of the gospel. There are a number of these groups our church volunteers for each year that I refuse to participate in. If they won't let you share the gospel, what is the point of giving time and/or money to the group?

Apart from $, the point is to share the gospel using such orgs, for those orgs that do evangelize cannot get the access these secular ones do. Thus certain Christians are as undercover agents, not so simply giving time to these groups humanitarian works, but using such as cover to share the Truth of the Lord Jesus. Brave souls of faith in my eyes.

I understand “missionaries” who go under the guise of doctors, teachers, etc. That is understandable and commendable. But each year at our church we stuff boxes for children overseas. We donate time and resources for this activity (to name but one), yet we are not allowed to put any religious material in the box or they will confiscate it (the organization). I’m not sure what is the point.

I’m not sure what is the point. It should be a means to the end, meaning showing Christian charity in temporal matters in order to adorn the presentation of the gospel. But typically the gospel is not even presented along with the act of charity, even if only by a tract and a word of exhortation which invites dialogue, and the temporal aspect takes upon a life of its own. Read Revolution in World Missions by (Indian) K.P. Yohannan.
