– Throughout history there have been 82 movements where Muslims in great numbers have come to Christ. 69 of them have started the past 20 years, says David Garrison.
A few years ago the well-known missions researcher was challenged to investigate more closely to what extent Muslims come to Christ today.
– There are many rumors and anecdotes about what is happening. Three years ago a foundation approached me to ask if I could find out what the reality is. So I began what I didn’t realize at the time would be a journey of a quarter-million miles throughout the Muslim world gathering information, says Garrison in an interview with BreakPoint. His research and the stories he has gathered are published in the newly released book named “A Wind in the House of Islam”.
In his research Garrison has defined “movement” as more than 1,000 Muslims from one particular people group being baptized within a two-decade period. Based on this definition he concludes that there in history have been a total of 82 movements where Muslims have come to Christ. 84 percent of those movements have happened within the last 20 years.
– This is historically unprecedented, it’s stunning to learn, says Garrison.
He confirms news shared by many others that a great number of Muslims are led to Christ through visions and dreams.– The stories I have been told are just remarkable, states the researcher. View video here.
