I remember once being in a very remote indigenous village where one had to have permission of the chief to enter. Getting there required driving down a dry creek bed for many miles. I was assured that I was very special because few outsiders were ever granted access to the village. So, it was surprising the next morning to hear a large truck slowly coming down the creek bed toward the village. “Who’s coming to the village in such a truck?” I asked. “Oh, that’s the Coca-Cola truck, it comes every Tuesday,” was the reply.
 
While Coke has reached the far corners of the earth, sadly the gospel has not. Some of the most gospel destitute places on our planet today are in Muslim dominated lands. They are unreached because they are hard, they are resistant, they are often unwelcoming, and they are spiritually lost. Our focus for this year’s Go Week is Islam. The chapel speaker is Jonathan, a missionary to an unreached people in a Muslim majority nation. Jonathan embodies our theme for this week which comes from 2 Timothy 1:7, “Not Fear, But Love.” I pray that our love for Muslims will grow this week and we will develop a passion for loving them, serving them, and leading them to our Savior.
