A paper by Duane Miller “Woven in the Weakness of the Changing Body: the Genesis of World Islamic Christianity.” At his blog he says, “In this paper I try to analyze some of the main trends that have allowed for a global space wherein conversions from Islam to Christ have increased very substantially since the second half of the 20th Century.” Here are the 10 factors Miller’s research identified:
- Media
- Exposure to other ways of life/thought/and religion
- Contextualized or culturally-sensitive witness
- Living Abroad/migration
- Prayers/a move of the Spirit/God‘s timing
- Dreams/Visions/Miracles
- Greater number of missionaries
- Translation of the Bible and material into local languages/dialects/forms
- Greater diversity in missionary strategies/platforms
- Great boldness in evangelization
