English Testimonies

“He (Daniel) has given our congregation insights into Islamic people that we would have never had, as well as giving me opportunities to connect and communicate with Islamic leaders in the Phoenix, Arizona area.” – Huck Kusner, Pastor of Calvary Chapel Black Canyon City, Arizona

“The training was very beneficial and helped those who participated to be more at ease with sharing their faith.” – Jim Remington, Pastor of Calvary Chapel Queen Creek, Arizona

“Contrary to most Muslim outreach ministries that attack and taunt Muslims like ‘sons of thunder,’ CID loves them as Jesus does and labors to establish friendly dialogue based on mutual respect.” – Doug Warwick, Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Ahwatukee, Arizona

“I think the training of CID and its outreach to Muslims is Bible-based and spirit led. It emphasizes the need to obey the Great Commission to all, to approach Muslims with love, dignity, respect, and understanding, etc. For example, it recommends that we take time to learn the ways of greeting and use their own language of greeting and be friendly and engage them. Another is to take time to understand their ingrained views of Jesus, the bible, and God, etc. Another is to bathe everything in prayer and move with godly authority and grace, with love and holiness… It teaches how to deal with anticipated responses from those being witnessed to. It teaches us to be Spirit filled, Spirit led, and bold, and live godly lives. The training has been great and very much appreciated, as we move from strength to more strength.” – Nema in Arizona

After attending the training in her church, a pastor’s wife began witnessing at the mosque when Muslims were leaving from their prayer time. She said, “I thought they were all terrorists. I had no clue how to start a conversation. I thought it would be impossible to evangelize them.” She was so surprised to find them receptive. – Pastor’s wife, Arizona

Another woman regularly shares the Gospel with Muslims at the mosque and university. She said, “With so many Muslims coming to America, God has brought them from all over the world ‘to my back yard’ where they are free to hear.” – A woman in Arizona

“Having attended a class about street evangelism then attending Daniel’s training, I told myself, ‘I have to do this.’ Despite some fear, I went out with Daniel and others to Arizona State University and the mosque there. Although nervous, I was able to observe Daniel’s way of interacting with the various people–avoiding debate and sticking with the question, ‘Where will you go when you die?’ ” – Linda in Arizona
