Evangelism Encounter
Coming into this assignment, and even previously in my Christian walk, I had never shared the Gospel with a stranger. I had plenty of experience talking about Jesus with my friends, family, and my peers, but the thought of approaching someone I did not know and sharing Jesus with them often left my stomach in knots. This assignment has helped tremendously to show that evangelism does not have to be scary.
Muslim Converts
Following a new religion is a life changing experience. Often, when one accepts a new religion as their own they carry certain characteristics from their old religion into the new one. This synthesis of religions is common in Christian converts from Islam.
Sukuma and Folk Islam
The Sukuma people of Tanzania represent an example of a folk religion. However, they are not participants in Islam or folk Islam. They rather practice a religion that is relevant for them only as it is entirely dependent on their cultural context and location.
Gospel Contextualization
Should a Christian contextualize the Gospel and pretend to be a Muslim in order to become better missionaries for the sake of Muslims? While this theory may seem like a good idea, it is far more faulty for Christians to lie about their religion rather than being honest about it. If this make-believe facade of reverence were put on by a Christian and Muslims found out, it could be very detrimental to the established relationships and opportunities to witness to the Muslims would be reduced.
