SPOTLIGHT: Islam is Advancing in America


Written by David E. Smith

This week, Illinois Family Spotlight features Q & A highlights from a forum on Islam that was held in Orland Park. The event was presented by IFI along with Paul Hurst and the team from Des Plaines ACT for America. We are grateful to Stone Church, led by Senior Pastor, the Rev. Dr. Wes Modder, for hosting this event.

Our forum panelists were: Anni Cyrus, an Iranian child bride who escaped to America and is now a U.S. citizen with a ministry to women and girls living under Sharia; Mark Issa, a former radical Muslim who came to faith in 2016 and shares the gospel with Muslims through al Mag TV, and Philip Haney, a counter-terrorism expert, author, and former founding official with the Department of Homeland Security.

Please listen as these panelists respond to these questions:

  • How do we reach cultural Muslims with the gospel?
  • How can we support the underground church in Iran?
  • How can we use political and social involvement to make a positive difference?
  • How do we stand against Muslim influence in America, especially in our schools?
