“I will be so happy if my Lord Jesus Christ accepts me as one of His followers. Is it possible if I was born a Muslim?”
That’s a question from a man in the Middle East who reached out to BGEA’s internet evangelism ministry, Search for Jesus, after hearing about Christ through Christian friends.
Search for Jesus has over 500 trained volunteers ready to respond to online visitors with the hope of the Gospel. Two of those volunteers, Brian and Kimberly of North Carolina, spent years as missionaries to Muslims in Southeast Asia and now answer emails from Muslims around the world.
The No. 1 issue Brian and Kimberly deal with in their ministry is whether Jesus is actually God. - They also get lots of questions about supposed corruption of the Bible.
Is Jesus God?
Muslims believe Jesus is separate from God, instead of God in human flesh as Christians believe. Many also think Christians worship multiple gods through their belief in the trinity.
Some helpful Bible verses:
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.” —Deuteronomy 6:4
“Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.” —John 14:9
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” —John 1:1-2
Is the Bible Corrupted?
“At the time of Muhammad, his followers were encouraged to read the Bible,” Brian said. “The Bible that Muhammad encouraged them to read is the same Bible we have today.” Yet many Muslims believe it’s been corrupted, partly through various translations.
A great question to ask, Brian said, is which parts have supposedly been corrupted and how they know.

That is true. You share Jesus knowing there is a risk. I pray for and trust The LORD for protection. He has always protected me while witnessing Jesus. I have been in more danger, it seems, interestingly enough, from rabid, leftist students than Muslim students.
Hi. These missionaries who run this online resource worked on the ground in Southeast Asia. Their advice is not for Christians who work for the website but for those who are encountering Muslim colleagues, friends, and neighbors in daily life.
You can preach to Islamic terrorists. Just offer this:
“Give me ten minutes to talk, and then you can cut off my head.”
Yeah, preach to them with bullhorns. Place voice recorders. Then bug out.
