As hostilities against Christians continue in the Arab world, Arab World Ministries isn’t allowing that to hamper evangelism. Robert Bruce works in North Africa with AWM. While being a Christian in these areas is difficult, Bruce doesn’t want to see Christians leave their homes. “There’s always a temptation to leave and go to the west where there’s a lot less persecution. And, over the years we’ve lost a number of people who have managed to get a via and have traveled elsewhere. We’re called to shine out like lights where we are. And, obviously they need a burden for their own country.” According to Bruce, it’s easy to start talking about spiritual things in these countries. “Working in the Muslim world it’s very easy to strike up a conversation for hours at a time about religion, however, it takes them a long time to reach the point of conversion.” Bruce says prayer is essential as they continue their secret work among the Muslim people.
