Speakers

Dr. Abraham Sarker is a MBB (Muslim Background Believer) and the Founder and Executive Director of Gospel For Muslims, Inc. While training to become an Islamic leader in his native country, God miracu- lously touched his heart through a dream which began his journey toward Christ. Dr. Sarker has paid a high price for his faith in Jesus, yet he is committed to sharing this hope with others.

Dr. Sarker completed a Bible degree from Christ For the Nations Institute, bachelor's and MBA degrees from Dallas Baptist University where he currently serves as an adjunct professor, and his Doctorate in Strategic Leadership from Regent University. Dr. Sarker is the author of Understand My Muslim People, a well-written guide to help Christians understand and reach out to the Muslim people. He has also contributed to other Christian publications such as The Complete Evangelism Guidebook, a collaborative effort with Rick Warren, Luis Palau, and others.

Dr. Jim Denison, the Teaching Pastor at Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, is passionate about helping others know and follow Jesus and equipping and discipling the Saints. He writes a daily e-mail devotional on cultural issues from a spiritual perspective, which is sent to over 10,500 subscribers all over the world. He recently wrote an informative series on Islam, which can be found on the God Issues websites, www.godissues.org and www.godissues.com.

Dr. Denison has done extensive work in apologetics, worldviews and cultural studies, and is author of four books. His background in world religions includes mission work in East Malaysia and a Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Dr. Jeremiah Cummings is a Muslim Background Believer (MBB) whose life is so much like the life of the Apostle Paul in that he too opposed Christianity as a minister and student under Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam for nine and a half years.  But in 1997, Minister Jeremiah Fard Muhammad (Jeremiah Cummings) came to know Christ as his Savior in a mighty way. 

God called Dr. Cummings to be an evangelist to the world and a teacher that will reach out to the 1.6 billion Muslims whom the Bible calls "the Seed of Ishmael."   Through his ministry, Worldwide Campaign for Christ, he is currently reaching the people of Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, and West Africa with the Arabic Bible in an attempt to spread Christ into the Middle East. 

Mr. John Maisel is co-founder and CEO of East-West Ministries in Addison, Texas, a ministry born out of the Lord's work behind the Iron Curtain.  Mr. Maisel has been involved in clandestine travel and training with Biblical Education by Extension (BEE) since 1980.  Following the training multiplication principle found in 2 Timothy 2:2, East-West set out to train an mentor national pastors who could, in turn, start churches, shepherd, and disciple new believers in their own nations through the planting of grace-oriented churches.  There work extends to Russia and the Caucasus, Central Asia, India, and other Southeast Asian countries. 

John has a passion for reaching the Muslim world with the Gospel.  He and his family reside in the Dallas, Texas area.

 

The MBB Speakers

The majority of our speakers are Muslim Background Believers (MBBs) with the training, experience, and passion to reach out to their brothers and sisters still in Islam, and to equip others to do the same. Each of them have known the cost of becoming a disciple of Christ, and they are not pictured here for their own security.

 

MBBs have been instrumental in putting this conference together, and attendees will greatly benefit from receiving their insightful teaching and hearing their amazing testimo- nies. Your presence at this conference will bring great encouragement to these MBBs as we become more united in Christ.
