The Challenge of Islam

The Church Workers Network invites you to a morning with Bishop Yassir Eric who will help us understand the world of Islam and how to share the gospel in that context.

The Rt Rev Dr Yassir Eric, born in Sudan, was radicalised as a young Muslim and hostile to Christianity until, in his own words, “a miraculous healing I witnessed at 19 led me to Christ”.

His conversion brought rejection, imprisonment, and a symbolic funeral by his family, yet he was discipled by a Swedish missionary and grew in faith.

Yassir later ministered in Kenya and Germany, and now serves as Presiding Bishop of the Muslim Background Believers Ecclesia in the Global Anglican Church, consecrated by primates of the Anglican Communion for this work.

A former leader in Communio Messianica, he continues to champion a growing movement of converts from Islam despite persecution—a testimony to God’s grace and blessing.

Friday 12 December from 9.30am - 12 noon in St Nicholas Halls, 1 Cadogan Park, Belfast

Cost: £10 (includes brunch)
