Overview:
A research exploring BMB's conversion.
Content:
In the last few years, I have interacted with hundreds of Muslim converts from many nations around the world. As I heard many testimonies by Muslims of how they have come to Christ, I decided to conduct a formal research to try to understand the factors that led to their conversion. I prepared a questionnaire of 10 questions and asked 100 converts over a period of three years to fill it out. These converts had come to national conferences for Christians from Muslim Background held in Washington DC and New Jersey. The questionnaire included multiple choice questions. Some checked more than one response which explains why the total is more than 100% sometimes. This survey revealed much about the differences in experience for the believer between Islam and Christianity. It was clear from the responses that the two groups have entirely different experiences and feelings toward God and religious practices.
