Description
We will bring hope and light to people living in the Arabian Peninsula.
Ministry details
We will gain a better understanding of Islamic culture and religion through: - personal contacts with Muslims - training - fellowship with brothers and sisters having experience in or coming from the Middle East Participants will be part of an Outreach Team that serves in either the afternoon or evening shift. Each team will serve as part of a four-person team that consists of a praying pair and an engaging pair. During the morning sessions we will receive training on how to start a conversation and talk about Jesus with Muslims, hear testimonies and learn more about the Arabian Peninsula. Prayer, worship and devotion are also part of the morning program. There is a free day for sightseeing built into the program.
Purpose
Thousands of international tourists come to Austria during the summer, including many Arabs from the heart land of Islam, the Arabian Peninsula. Many have never had the opportunity to personally meet a Jesus follower or to hear the Gospel in their home country. We want to take this unique opportunity and use the freedom we have in Austria to share God`s love with the Arabs from the Arab Peninsula.
Participant profile
The team and outreach language is English. We are an international team. Participants speaking Arabic are welcome! Participants need to be willing to learn about the culture and religion of the Arabs. We welcome families with children. Please contact us to discuss costs and availability.
Notes
This is a two-week outreach. We recommend the two weeks. Nevertheless, one week is possible from the 26th June until the 3rd July. The costs are only due shortly before the outreach. We also recommend booking flights and travel tickets shortly before the outreach. There is a voluntary pre-Arrival evangelism training which will prepare you well for this outreach. It is highly recommended you block the time to take the live, virtual training online. There will be 3 cycles of training available between February to June. Each cycle consists of 3x 2.5-hour sessions, over a 6-week period. Each session will have a small amount of homework and expected practice of the training. The dates for the training will be announced in January 2027.
