Lauren Plute and her family spent seven years in Central Asia and now work with a ministry called “Say Hello.” The ministry aims to equip and encourage Christian women globally to build genuine, respectful, and Christ-centered friendships with Muslims.

Lauren emphasizes the importance of seeing Muslims as individuals made in God's image and not letting fear or prejudice hinder relationships. She encourages Christians to be honest with themselves and God about their feelings towards Muslims and to ask for His help in loving them as He does.
