We are the directors of a local community center in the UK that assists immigrants, such as helping with applying for government assistance, applying for jobs, learning English, and gaining skills such as cooking and sewing. We are also coordinating discussion groups for men and women. This community center is open to all, regardless of religious background, and is designed to be a safe space. Most of those who come to receive assistance are Muslim women.
Our primary goal is to work with the staff to become more intentional about building God’s Kingdom in the area. We are teaching the staff how to develop relationships with those in the community, building friendships that will allow for opportunities to share the Gospel. Through this discipleship, we desire to start a new fellowship of believers who live in the area that can more effectively reach local Muslims.
