The Muslim world is experiencing great upheaval. More Muslims have accepted Christ in the last decade than in the entire history of Islam.

Due to the recent conflicts in the Middle East, untold numbers of people from Islamic cultures are seeking the truth about God, and missionaries and church planters are finding greater success in spreading the seed of Christ.

Many countries on the European and American continents have welcomed unprecedented numbers of refugees and asylum-seekers.

We increasingly interact with Muslims on a daily basis, and our calling is to understand what obstacles and difficulties can hinder our testimony and walk with new Muslim-background believers.

This three-day gathering features talks, breakout meetings, and Q&A sessions hosted by four of the most respected and prominent leaders in the field of Muslim evangelism. In addition, while Legacy is a necessary resource for anyone involved in reaching out to Muslims, it is also a comprehensive introduction for those who seek a deeper understanding of their calling.
