A dissertation relevant to church and her mission in relation to intergration of BMBs, focued on mobilizing the Arab Palestinian church.
Content:
Modern day evangelical churches have been functioning in the Holy Land for more than one hundred years, and have concentrated on planting churches among traditional Christians.
However, if the gospel is for everyone, churches must broaden their vision: Muslim background believers must become an integral part of the church. To that end, with effectual evangelism and discipleship, local churches must be empowered to minister to Muslims, and to integrate them into their congregations.
This thesis will explore how to mobilize the Arab Palestinian church for ministry among Muslims and how to effectively integrate Muslim converts into existing Palestinian evangelical churches.
