was brought into existence to meet the need of bringing older classical Christian works to the attention of a new
generation. Although some of the old works on Islam were deemed most valuable to anyone seeking to bring the
gospel to Muslims no publisher would print such titles because of the likelihood of facing financial losses.
In 1977 an original founder member of the Trust was approached by FFM North America to reprint “The Gospel of
God “by Herbert Spencer, a former Principal of The College of Islamics, Aligarh, India.
Following this initial enterprise a string of classics on Islam were reprinted. First came “The Sources of
Islam“, written by the missionary scholar Dr. St. Clair-Tisdall, master of five languages. Then came the
reprinting of two of the unobtainable works of the greatest of all western missionary scholars on Islam, Dr.
Samuel Zwemer; “The Muslim Doctrine of God” and “The Muslim Christ” It was Dr. Zwemer who in 1915 presented his
famous call to the missionary gathering at Keswick which resulted in the launch of the formation of the F.F.M.
(Fellowship of Faith for Muslims).
“The Message for Muslims Trust was formerly made a Charitable Trust on
January 7th 1985. The present trustees and supporters continue the objectives laid down by the founders and are
Bible-believing Evangelical Christians wholly committed to full-time mission to Muslims. |
