Engaging Muslim Women:

Fruitful practices for overcoming religious, cultural,

economic and educational disparities

Course Description:

​

     Muslim women are among the least-reached people in the world. This course considers their unique needs and the formidable challenges that too often make it exceptionally difficult for them to learn about Jesus and be welcomed into his body. In addition to examining the religious and cultural challenges these women face, we will explore the many educational, social, and economic disparities that increase their isolation and vulnerability. We will consider their felt needs and explore together creative ways to access these women who are so loved by God.

About the Course Instructor:
 

     Dr. Phillips has worked among Muslims in East and North Africa for more than 30 years, focused mostly on poor and isolated women with limited literacy. God has given her a special passion for women in villages and rural areas using community development work, public health skills, and oral approaches to reach and teach women. Her heart is to engage those who are the least-reached and have little access to personal resources and/or the gospel message.
