| dc.description.abstract | The Seventh–day Adventist church is entrusted with the gospel commission to
disciple all nations. The church made fruitless effort to reach Muslims in Breman
Asikuma. The Muslims were multiplying fast, and no long term plan had been put in
place to reach them. The study sought to explore the opportunities of reaching
Muslims in Breman Asikuma through Ghanaian Adventist music.
A self-developed structured questionnaire with close ended questions was used as
instrument for the study. A data was collected on the research conducted, and
analyzed, with the use of statistical package for social science (S.P.S.S). Respondents
had different levels of education, from the basic level to the tertiary level. Majority of
the respondents were of the Islamic faith. The largest numbers of respondents were
female. Greater percentage of respondents agreed that Western music had no effect
on them.The study looked at the several obstacles to Muslim evangelism; there were no
materials for Muslim evangelism, the old approach to public evangelism was adopted,
the Muslim community did not like western music, hence the fruitless attempt to
reach Muslims.
In conclusion, the study used contextualization as a platform for Muslim
evangelism, and it was successful. A musical concert dubbed, “bridging the gap
between Adventist and Muslims” was staged. Muslims responded to the invitation.
Three Muslims were baptized, and thereafter cordial relationship between the Seventh
– day Adventist Church and Muslims in Breman Asikuma has existed. | en_US |
