Mission Board:

Since 1992 we have been in the Chicago area as part of the SIM Ethnic Focus Ministry (EFM) with special emphasis on reaching Muslims in the Chicago area. 

Description of Ministry:

Our ministry consists of friendship evangelism with Muslims and assisting churches and Christians engage in friendship evangelism.  As of Feb.1, 2002, I have become the leader of the SIM EFM team here in Chicago.  The team currently consists of 16 people ministering in various ways to a number of ethnic peoples and helping churches engage in ministry to ethnic peoples.

How to be involved:

Use our prayer letters to support us in prayer.  Sometimes we could use practical help in various spheres such as computer, publication of prayer letter, house repairs, etc.  Different things come up at different times

Association with Outreach:

We became acquainted with Outreach in 1991 when we lived in Siloam Springs while on furlough from Sudan for 9 months transitioning to EFM in Chicago.  We were regular attenders at Outreach and were greatly blessed by the personal interest and spiritual support of many in the fellowship.
