PALM Project Level 1 Overview

This is what we will cover in your Level 1 training.

PALM Project means: Pursuing And Loving Muslims for Christ

PEACE and PURPOSE

A view of the Christian life:

Jesus gives us PEACE with:

  • GOD
  • OURSELVES
  • OTHER PEOPLE

Jesus gives us PURPOSE!

The PURPOSE for all Christians: His Kingdom Come

For some it will be Muslim Ministry – we hope it is for you!

PALM Project GOALS

Sowing Seeds to:

  • Make Disciples and “Pre-disciples” of Muslims
  • Influence Cultures and countries

Jesus came to Seek and Save the Lost. Luke 19:10

If we follow him, we must do likewise – not just sit and wait. I John 2:6

This means we must be active – seek, sow, fish, befriend, confront darkness

PALM Project METHODS

Every Interaction with a Muslim should do one or more of these 3 things:

  1. BUILD BRIDGES
  2. SHARE TRUTH
  3. CHALLENGE FALSEHOOD

This is the most important point of today’s lesson!

In fact, these 3 can be a Job Description for every relationship in your life.

BUILD BRIDGES

There are two types of Bridges:

  1. From you to the MUSLIM
  2. From the Muslim to the GOSPEL

You will learn how to make secure bridge foundations, and many types of bridges to suit a large number of occasions and outreaches. Then we teach you how to be aware when the time is right to bridge into the gospel, and ways to cross over to it.

SHARE TRUTH

  1. The Gospel through The Path of the Prophets
    • Gospel Method using Sacrifices, like Eid al AdHa.
    • Culturally connected to what Muslims know.
    • Addresses top Muslim objections.
  2. Teach the Bible through the Saltshaker Style
    • Sprinkles Biblical Truth into everyday situations.
  3. Defend the Gospel and Bible through Apologetics
    • Against the Big 4 attacks (Cross, Jesus God, Bible, Trinity)
    • Against other attacks beyond the Big 4

CHALLENGE ISLAM

  1. Islam is hard to leave. Muslims will not do this unless they KNOW that Islam is wrong. The setting is important for challenging.
  2. Practical Tips for Apologetics and Polemics (SWAP Street Wise Apologetics and Polemics)
    • Polemics challenge false beliefs. Muslims prefer talking to listening. We teach techniques for short, powerful answers to Muslim questions and accusation.
  3. Make a Testimony with Evidence (PAT is a Personal Apologetic Testimony)
    • We will teach you how to organize why you believe what you believe

Apologetics and polemics are usually needed early in relationships with Muslims. A big part of what they DO believe is what they DON’T believe about Christianity. In contrast to most Westerners, they don’t mind telling you that. Speak the Truth with love and patience.

(Making Disciples: Note we will not cover this in Level 1)

  • What and how to teach Muslims about the Bible and Christian faith, before and after they come to Christ (Pre-Disciples and Disciples)
  • Smiles and Trials – practical problems working with and discipling Muslims.

Remember: Walk in the Spirit, and when you see a PALM tree, Pray for Muslims!
