There are four million people in the UK who say they are followers of Islam. In our rapidly changing communities, how can we reach out to Muslim people with the gospel?

Muslim people make up 6% of the UK population (as of 2021), which increase to 15% within London.

Reflecting on their experiences in church ministry, Adrian Reynolds (FIEC Associate National Director), Dan Strange (Director of Crosslands Forum), and Rob Scott (pastor, Asha London), discuss the complexities of engaging with Muslim people and how churches can hold out the hope of the gospel to them.
