MEDINA |
SAUDI ARABIA |
Medina, the place from which Muhammad established the Muslim community, is the second holiest city in Islam. Islam originated approximately 1,400 years ago in the nation of Saudi Arabia when the founder, Muhammad, declared that no other religion should exist on the Arabian Peninsula. |
Each year around 2 million Muslims pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, though more and more Saudis are growing disillusioned with Islam and coming to Jesus through digital media, traveling abroad, and faithful witness within the nation. |
With the Crown Prince’s push for a modernized Saudi Arabia, an opportunity presents itself for the Saudi church to stand in opposition to Muhammad’s declaration 1400 years ago, and to capitalize on greater freedom within their nation in claiming their country for the King of Kings. |
