‘Prepare to spend a long time making strong disciples, but anticipate miraculous accelerations.’ (p44) This book echoes the book of Acts with the experiences of miracles breaking ground for the good news of Jesus Christ.
Based on his seven-year research, about 40% of believers from a Muslim background had received a vision or dream of Jesus. Each divine intervention was unique but propelled the individual to seek and serve Christ for themselves, sometimes at great personal cost.
The author is aware that not every reader will be willing or able to embrace the principles and practices surveyed in the book. He regularly refers to Scripture and explores how Jesus intentionally mentored a few in order to reach the many. Trousdale also shares early in the book about the skepticism of one experienced church-planting team leader who constantly challenged the trainer for a whole week. The chapter ends with not only the team leader ‘Thomas’ becoming good friends and applying the training but the resulting fruit of 150 churches among two previously unreached Muslim people groups.
