Even with all the comments about Muslims in the news these days there is still a lot of confusion that surrounds what they believe. This Sunday night, October 30, we are going to attempt to give you some brief clarification.
Panel Discussion — 6:00 to 7:30 pm Mark Sigmon—Steve Holman—Dave DeCook
Mark Sigmon will be starting the evening with a presentation on Muslims -- their relationship to ISIS, the challenge they bring to missions, and how we are to respond to Muslims in our own area.
After a short break for coffee and cake we will pick back up again with a panel format for questions and answers including Mark, Steve, and Dave.
Mark Sigmon is the founder of Global Impact Services, a missions mobilization and education ministry. Over the past 25 years he has led a mission organization, mission committees, and short term teams; served in forty countries; and taught and written on missions. He coordinates the Perspectives missions course and an annual missions conference, leads a local ethnic outreach, and consults with churches and missionaries on mission strategies.
Steve Holman serves with Closed Door Ministries International, a ministry that empowers the persecuted church. Based in West Michigan, he travels as often as possible to work with CDM partners in Asia, including Burma, Thailand and Philippines. His particular role is theological training and working with Bible college faculties in places that have been closed to resident Western missionaries. When possible he teaches graduate modules in Bible Colleges as well. Most recently he traveled to western Kenya to advise a group of ministries on making their churches sustainable and improving the education of their pastors.
Dave DeCook is the Director of Bangla Ministries Worldwide. BMW is a group of people, Bengali and American alike, who are dedicated to reaching the world's largest unreached people group with the gospel and love of Jesus Christ. They do this through weekly Bible studies, yearly graduations and leadership camps, and relationships. After having been a pastor for many years, Dave became Director of BMW in 2011. Growing up in Bangladesh as a boy provided a foundation for a heart response to focus his energies on this group of people.
