| Ministry Detail |
|
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 children’s 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.

| Dress Code & What to Bring
|
|
|
Dress Code:
We do require all trip participants, leaders, and staff to adhere to a dress code on each of our EDGE mission projects. We do this to show respect for God, respect for ourselves, and respect for others. Please help us achieve this goal by teaching your group that our dress code isn’t because we’re extremists, but because we love God, we wish to honor His creation, and we don’t wish to cause others to stumble. You can find specific guidelines in your M101 manual or by contacting your EDGE representative.
