Project Overview:
With the largest concentration of Arab Muslims outside of the Middle East, Dearborn is viewed as the Mecca of North America throughout the Islamic World. One local high school is more than 90% Arab. Many shops advertise in both Arabic and English some only in Arabic. However, in spite of its Muslim and Arab influence, there is an openness and freedom to share the Gospel with the people in Dearborn.
Ministry Description:
Ministry opportunities include street evangelism, tract distribution, prayer, worship, drama and dance, puppets, and childrens ministry. Share the love of Jesus Christ door-to-door, in parks, and other centers in Dearborn. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about Islam through career missionaries, mosque tours, and hands-on evangelism. Longer internship opportunities are also available.
