What does the Three-Fold Training consists of?
- Classroom Instruction (Explaining Islam and Christian witness)
- Role Play (How to Witness)
- Field Trip to Mosque (Breaking Sterotypes and establishing friendship)
- Field Training (Witnessing on Site)
What do you mean by Role Play?
Role play means that the instructor takes the part of a Muslim and someone from the training seminar volunteers to witness to the instructor to convert him to Christianity. Role play is the best way for Christians to learn what will be waiting for them when witnessing to a Muslims. It will also give helpful experience in responding to and using Muslims' objections as opportunities for witnessing to them.
What do you mean by Field Trip to the Mosque? Could this be risky knowing that most Muslims are terrorists?
Muslims are not terrorists. Less than one percent of Muslims are hostile. Thankfully, the majority of Muslims follow common sense rather than killing innocent people. They are born in the image of God and deserve the opportunity to hear the gospel message. The purpose of the mosque's visit is to encourage friendship through the breaking of the fear barriers and diffusing the labeling of Muslims as terrorists, both of which are markedly hindering an effective and courageous witness to Muslims.
What do you mean by Witnessing on Site?
It is well-known that the Islamic field is one of the most studied but least evangelized. The great need now is to become practical and get involved in a broad-based outreach to the influx of Muslims that God has brought to us. Witnessing on site is a hands-on training where we engage Muslim international students on campuses and Muslim refugees and others at restaurants, gas stations and food stores.

Our church is interested in topics on Islam that are not related to Muslim beliefs and evangelism. Can our church or group request a speaker for such a task?
Of course, your church or group can request a speaker for such a task. We believe that the deeper we understand Islam, the more we can become effective in relating the love of Christ to Muslims. Your church or group can visit Request a Speaker to provide you with a presentation according to your own interest in Islam.
