Real Conversions in the Muslim world

John Stringer over at the excellent St. Francis Magazine, posted this comment at the equally excellent
Islam and Christianity blog:

"Through my work we see about 20-30 Arab Muslims come to Christ each month. These are hard figures, of people we are in direct relationship with. Yes, this is media.

Many media - especially those in satellite TV broadcasting - are seeing numbers of converts that we could all only dream of 10 years ago."


Those are what real figures look like, folks, not the wild 6-million-converts-from-Islam-a-year figure that has been sweeping the blogosphere.

Tens of thousands a years across the Muslim world - probably. Is that figure unprecedented? Absolutely. Is it an amazing work of God? Absolutely.

Millions of converts from Islam to Christianity every year? No.

Believe me, if and when that happens, you'll hear about it.
