Islam God's Forgotten Blessing Author:Stephen Dickie In some ways, Seventh-day Adventists are uniquely suited to reach Muslim people. This is the story of how our prophetic message especially resonates with the heart of Islam, and reaches its people with truth and calls them to Christ. — It is estimated that approximately 22% of the world's population are Muslim.

Because they have a deep desire to seek and do God's will, many are ripe for the Gospel--if it is presented so that it connects with them.
In today's world, where many view Islam with fear, hatred, and distrust, Stephen Dickie raises the voice of reason. Can we truly consider the world as evangelized if we ignore this significant population that worships the God of Abraham? As Ishmael was one of the few men in the Bible named personally by God, one cannot help but wonder if there is a special message for his descendants in these times. On a journey through Central Asia, Dickie found that through their veneration of the prophet, Daniel, many Muslims may be drawn to the truth of the Bible and the three angels' messages and prophecies of Revelation that go hand in hand with the book of Daniel.
With eyes open to new possibilities, Dickie and his team found new depth in the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, even as taught by our Adventist pioneers, which draws Islam into the mix of God's chosen tools.
