This was the warning we received from a local missionary to the Muslim people of Toronto. He and his family work in a Toronto neighborhood with a population of 30,000 people - almost entirely Muslim. His son is the only white, English-speaking Canadian in his classroom of 30 first-graders. The other 29 children are all from Pakistan. We felt conspicuous as we walked down the street where virtually everyone else was of darker skin color.
The world continues to come in droves to the cities of North America. Of all the peoples and religions who are coming here, Islam in particular has a very clear agenda. They intend to make western countries Islamic. It is already happening in numerous countries of Europe. It is starting to happen in communities of Toronto and other major North American cities. Last week's National Post featured an article about a new housing development on the north side of Toronto that consists of 260 single-family dwellings - all of them owned by Muslims. The developer, a Muslim himself, has named it the "City of Peace".
What will it take for Christians to awake to the opportunity which is rapidly becoming a danger? CrossWorld Canada has been praying about starting a work amongst the immigrant population of Toronto. He has given us our first couple to start the work. Now we need others to join the team. Would you consider moving to Toronto to join us in this work? Would you pray with us that God would use us to reach the nations who are living right here? As our friend said, "If we don't reach them... they will reach us."
