SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This project utilized interviews to explore the spiritual journeys of a sample of francophone West African Muslim Background Believers from the Metro New York area. The primary goal was to discover the key factors which influenced their conversion to Christ from Islam as revealed through data accumulated during interviews of the subjects. Fifteen of these interviews were conducted in English, and five in French. A research assistant provided support with those participants who preferred to be interviewed in French and later transcribed each interview into English. The results of the project should inform readers of effective disciple-making practices amongst this population and provide them with insights on the role played by supernatural phenomena such as dreams, visions, and deliverance from demonic powers with regard to conversion from Islam to Christianity.
