He works now for the Hikma Partnership, a partnership committed to encouraging BMB (Believers from a Muslim Background) research and writing.Pat shares some of the lessons learned from his years in Tunisia, amazing stories from colleagues around the 'Muslim world' (including an embodied visitation of Jesus to some Bedouins in Libya) and much more.For some excellent resources for helping us reach out to Muslims, to welcome BMBs/MBBs into our fellowships and to disciple those from Muslim backgrounds, check out the Word of Life website.Another great space for churches that are wanting to integrate believers from different cultural backgrounds in the UK is the Intercultural Church network.Send us a message!Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his [email protected] can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr, if you're outside the UK, visit www.frontiers.org (then select from one of our national offices).
