Islam Steering Committee

John Azumah gives an impassioned appeal for Muslim evangelism. Some of the biggest needs are to de-escalate fear about Islam and mobilize Christian laypeople for outreach. Muslim evangelism is not a specialized task for the few, but for the whole church.

John Azumah is the Lausanne Senior Associate for Islam.

This presentation was given at the Lausanne Global Leadership Forum in Bangalore, India, from 17-21 June 2013.
