Why we recommend it:
The call of Islam goes out to more than 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide. World Missions is engaging in ministry among Muslims in seven different countries around the world. This video describes some of the ways World Missions is engaging with Muslims and calling Muslims to faith in Christ.
The video also highlights the work of a new inter-agency ministry of the Christian Reformed Church of North America called Advancing Ministry Among Muslims (AMAM). One of the goals of AMAM is to equip Christian Reformed Church members to better understand Islam and to provide the tools they need to reach out to Muslims in the communities they share.

Why we recommend it:
The Cradle of our Faith DVD provides a historical and present-day overview of Christianity in seven countries of the Middle East – Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iran, Israel/Palestine, Iraq, and Egypt. Included are updates on the present state of Christianity, statistical information about each country, biblical connections, and prayer requests. The DVD is well organized and includes very useful information. With panned pictures rather than moving video, the audio-visual portion of the DVD is somewhat slow paced. A good resource for increasing understanding about Christianity in the Middle East.

Why we recommend it:
"There is exciting growth in the African Church. Missions in the global church is shifting and changing. Oscar presents models and strategies for future mission partnerships between the global North and South."
This powerful presentation is a wake up call to the new realities of missions and what that means to be part of the global Body of Christ. Great for a short-term team orientation or for viewing during a worship service.

Why we recommend it:
The DVD helps to dispel a number of widespread misconceptions about Islam by providing a summary of some of the basic beliefs and practices of Islam. It also addresses extremism and discusses some of the reasons for conflicts between Muslim groups and others. Included are ways to reach Muslims with the message of the gospel together with suggestions for praying for a harvest among Muslims. With engaging, fairly fast-paced video and helpful section headings, the DVD is an excellent tool for educating North American churches about Islam.
