Our Vision:
Serving together to draw Muslims to Christ
Why we exist:
Christ-followers are called to love Muslims, not fear them.
How we serve
Jesus said,
"I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also.
They will listen to
my voice, and there
will be one flock with one shepherd."
John 10:16 NLT

Meet Aisha
Evangelizing Muslims
Aisha is a young woman from Iraq who found our satellite television station and watched one of our programs that compared Islam and Christianity. She reached out to us with heavy questions: “Is Islam a lie? Have we been living in an illusion for 1400 years? Were all of our lives wasted in Islam?”
Our team asked her if she had read any parts of the Bible before. Turns out, Aisha had read some parts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke and knew that Jesus had taken on our sins when he died. She asked us, “Did He forgive everyone or just the Christians? I always say, ‘I envy you Christians, because you have Christ who came to save you.’”
Our team shared 1 John 2:2 with Aisha: “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.”
At that point, Aisha was ready to accept Christ as her Lord and immediately prayed with our team member over the phone! Her hunger for the truth only grew after this, and she has joined our online church!
How can Muslims in closed countries hear about Jesus?
Satellite and media
Did you know almost every house in an Arab country has a satellite dish, even in remote villages? They have unlimited access to satellite channels without the danger of censorship like the internet.
​
In 2017, the Lord gave us the opportunity to start a satellite television channel to reach the Arab Muslim World. We have been broadcasting 24/7 ever since.
​
Our team specifically produces programs for the young Muslim population, because over 60% of Muslims are under the age of 30! We have series written to help Muslims critically think about their beliefs and introduce them to Christian topics they’ve never considered before.
​
When a Muslim viewer has questions about what they are seeing, they can easily text the number on their screen through WhatsApp (a secure messaging platform). This puts them in touch with our contact center that is available 17 hours a day seven days a week to answer their questions and teach them more about Christ.

Empowering the persecuted
Our online church—A church for the churchless
When a new believer leaves Islam, they are isolated and often cannot safely find Christian community. Especially if they are in an Islamic country, they could be killed for seeking a church to call home if a church even exists in their area.
How can new Christians in Islamic countries be discipled?
We built a secure online Arabic church specifically for our Muslim-background brothers and sisters in Christ who are unable to safely attend church or don't have a city in their church at all. Every week, there are two services for our 1,100+ church members to learn the Bible, experience live prayer with other believers, and have their questions answered.
Every believer in our church is paired with a mentor who personally supports them on their journey outside of these services.

Ministry story
Early beginnings | Opportunity to expand our reach | A church for the churchless
Early beginnings
In 1999, the Lord brought Mike and Samya with their young daughter to the United States. They had been serving underground in the Middle East, proclaiming the gospel and supporting the underground church, and the Lord called them to continue this work in a more expansive way in the U.S..
After the devastating events of 9/11, Samya and Mike saw many Americans respond to Muslims with fear and hatred, but also there were many conflicting messages about what Islam truly is. The Lord called them to reveal the truth about Islam to Christians while also empowering them to love their Muslim friends and neighbors instead of fear them.
Call of Love Ministries continued to serve as an equipping ministry to churches across the midwestern United States. We published three books of varying depth and study on Islam, had daily spots on radio, a television program, and hosted seminars and workshops.
Our media team began producing Christian Arabic content directed towards Muslims to open their eyes to the truth and introduce them to Jesus. These were published on YouTube, but this came with drawbacks. Many Islamic governments could censor YouTube content from reaching their population, and the channel was often reported and suspended.
Opportunity to expand our reach
In 2017, the Lord brought us the opportunity to lease a satellite frequency to broadcast our programs 24/7 to the entire Arab world. The fee for us to have this frequency was $16,000 per month, and we needed it in three weeks. The Lord was faithful and brought us generous partners and supporters who made this big new endeavor possible!
From the first day, this television station has attracted many Muslims hungry for the truth, who have reached out to our contact center and accepted Christ as Lord! But we saw a lack of discipleship and fellowship available for Muslim-background believers.
A church for the churchless
In March of 2020, when the pandemic forced many churches to close their doors, our founders’ hearts were touched by the isolation we were all experiencing. They recognized this was just a glimpse into the experiences of persecuted and underground Christians around the world every day especially in Islamic countries.
Within 9 months, our team built a secure online platform to host a remote church for believers who have no church in their city or are unable to safely attend one in person. After 3 years, there are 1,100+ families and individuals attending our two weekly services, and the Lord continues to call more into this body of believers weekly.
