The INN: South Florida

The Muslim population in South Florida is estimated between 90,000 – 110,000 and is growing. There are more than forty Islamic Centers and Schools in the region. God has given us a vision to share the Gospel and plant churches among this unreached Muslim population in South Florida.

As we reach Arabic speaking people locally, our prayer is that the gospel will spread to the 21 Arabic speaking countries in the world and throughout the nearly 3.5 million Arab Americans in the US, representing a total of approximately 422 million speakers. Arabic is the fifth most spoken language globally.

Our focus is on serving and sharing the gospel with Arabic-speaking Muslims in South Florida, as well as discipleship and church planting. We desire to meet the spiritual hunger found in Arab peoples across both geographical and religious boundaries. We accomplish this planting churches, teaching the bible, spreading the good news of Jesus, personally encouraging and discipling Arabs from various backgrounds and holding evangelical events throughout the year.

Part of our plan is to reach out to and equip local churches with relevant information through seminars that educate them about immigrants, culture, religion, and worldview. Pulling from our Eastern background, we have developed materials that will help to equip churches to minister to the refugee families in their own backyard.

The INN in South Florida serves Arabic speakers from various countries, most are from what is considered unreached and/or unengaged people groups. Both Arabic and English-speaking teammates are welcome!
