 Other Islamic Countries
There are about 1.4 billion Muslims in the World. That is approximately 21% of the world’s population.
The largest Islamic area is located between the 10th and 40th degree parallels known as the 10/40 Window, where 300 million people live. 80% of them have never heard the Gospel even one time. This is why our mission to reach them is so challenging.
Not all Arabs are Muslims. Christianity predates Islam in Arab nations and nominal Arab Christians are spread throughout Islamic countries and the world. There are Arabs everywhere who have not heard the Gospel message yet.
In Europe, the Islamic religion is growing at a rapid rate, mainly due to immigration. Right now, more than 40 million Muslims live in Europe and their numbers are increasing continuously.
The objective of Great Commission Media Ministries is share the Gospel of our Lord Jesus with Arabs and Muslims wherever they might live. We want to reach the unreached so they too can know Jesus Christ as their Savior.
We are successfully evangelizing Arab and Muslim nations through satellite TV programs (number one means of receiving TV in the Middle East) and seven Internet websites, receiving 1 to 2 million hits every month. We have also adapted our Mega City Media Evangelism Campaigns to the Arabic culture.
GCM Ministries has produced close to 2500 TV programs in many languages such as Arabic, Amharic, Somali, Farsi, and Urdu/Hindustani languages. These TV programs can be seen in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, North America and Australia. Six satellite channels broadcast our programs, some of them every day. We invest heavily in the production of TV programs because television plays a significant role in families throughout Arabic and Islamic regions in the world. Every family, no matter how poor, has a TV and a satellite receiver. The Arab and Muslim World Missions Department of GCM Ministries produced 505 new TV programs at our ministry center in 2009 alone.
Arab Christians in the Middle East cannot always meet openly, so our Arab and Islamic World Missions work also includes teaching and discipleship TV programming and web sites that provide discipleship and leadership training as well as media resources such as our TV programs and downloadable bibles.
GCM Ministries also distributes humanitarian aid as a part of our outreach to the Arab world.
Although we work mainly through the media, our mission teams also try to personally meet with Arab people and lead them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We do street and event evangelism amongst Arabs living in Europe, We also arrange for newborn Christians to grow together with other Believers. We are called to make disciples in Jesus.
