18 Muslims confessed faith in Christ through their digital outreach in high-risk areas.

Host Al Fadi, a Christian apologist and former Muslim, presents this year-end ministry update for Sira International. The episode is a solo reflection on the organization's activities in 2025, framed as a celebration of divine faithfulness. Al Fadi details three core ministry areas: training believers, digital media outreach, and Bible translation projects. Sira International's training involved in-person and virtual workshops on engaging Muslims, offered both locally and internationally, including a Canadian event for over 70 people. They conducted academic and church-level courses comparing Islamic and Christian theology and provided discipleship for Muslim Background Believers (MBBs) across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and North America. Their media work saw the English YouTube channel, CIRA International, double its views to 26 million and grow to 235,000 subscribers. The Arabic media outreach reported 18 confessions of faith from Muslims, 19 in-person meetings with seekers, and one baptism. Video series topics included the Bible's reliability, Quranic manuscript issues, and a comparison titled "The True Jesus versus the Islamic Jesus." The third focus is a sensitive Bible translation project for Saudi dialects, with the New Testament nearly complete and audio recording in progress. They are also developing a digital study Bible and a 12-week discipleship curriculum for new believers. A notable insight is the strategic shift back to in-person training post-COVID, which the host cites as a sign of renewed openness. The reported digital metrics, like 8,500 inbound messages on their Arabic Facebook page, highlight the scale of online engagement. The translation work is described as a "kingdom investment" intended to let scripture speak in local linguistic rhythms, which they believe will be transformational. They emphasize the danger and high-risk nature of this work, contextualizing seemingly low conversion numbers as significant given the persecution faced. The ministry is expanding into short-form video content on platforms like TikTok and developing a network of coaches to multiply their training impact. The tone is celebratory, pastoral, and motivational, directly addressing the audience as ministry partners. The style is a structured, informational monologue that blends reportage with religious testimony and appeals for further support. This episode would deeply interest supporters of Sira International, Christians engaged in Muslim outreach, or those curious about apologetics-focused ministry metrics. Listeners seeking a debate or dialogue format, or those uninterested in ministry updates and evangelical perspectives, might choose to skip it.
