Reaching Muslims in America – A Conversation with Missionary David Gates
In this episode, we sit down with David Gates, a missionary with a heart for Arab Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan—home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States. Brother Gates shares how the Lord led him from traditional ministry settings into the heart of Islamic America, where he now plants Gospel seeds through one-on-one conversations, Bible studies, college outreach, and digital evangelism.
We talk about the unique challenges and joys of reaching Muslims with the message of Christ, how to answer tough theological questions with grace and truth, and what it looks like to disciple believers coming from Islamic backgrounds. He also opens up about the role of his family in the ministry and the importance of consistency, compassion, and clear Gospel preaching.
Whether you're a missionary, pastor, church member, or just someone burdened for souls, this episode will encourage you to see the mission field right here at home—and challenge you to engage it with boldness and love.
