God is at work in the Muslim world!
Fruit to Harvest is a cultural anthology written by a diverse group of gospel workers who live with and love Muslims. You will join a global mission conversation at the forefront of gospel advance—the world of Islam. Like its predecessor (From Seed to Fruit), this book is the result of a global consultation sponsored by the Vision 5:9 Network.
This volume is a storehouse of missiology that offers:
• Reflections from 47 writers hailing from 21 different countries
• Fresh case studies from the field of Muslim ministry
• Strategies for overcoming barriers to reaching Muslims
• Insights from hundreds of testimonies taken from field workers in 30 different agencies working across the Muslim world.

God’s Spirit is moving across the Muslim world in unprecedented ways. It is truly astounding. Fruit to Harvest is not only encouraging, but it documents best practices of highly effective Christians reaching all corners of the Muslim world. You see the fingerprints of God all over the pages of this book.
Dan Hitzhusen, Global Church-Planting strategist

This book is the latest broad update of what God is doing in the Muslim World today. It is based on a large consultation in Chiang May, Thailand, in 2017 with a significant percentage of converts from Islam. Within the turmoil of the news, the church is growing as never before, with implications for nationals and expatriates alike.
Dr. J. Dudley Woodberry, Dean Emeritus and Senior Professor of Islamic Studies School of Intercultural Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary

I found Fruit to Harvest to be a collection of captivating stories of mustard seeds of God's kingdom planted in what seemed for generations to be desert places, but now these seeds are becoming large trees before our very eyes. The stories are so significant not only because they are told by the people who have experienced those stories, but also describe how Jesus is building His Church all over the world.
Dr. Bekele Shanko, Vice President for Cru & President for GACX

This compendium will become a classic reference book for those seriously engaged in work among Muslims.

Fruit to Harvest is an important current resource for anyone working in Muslim ministries or praying for Muslims. Inside you’ll find latest trends in Muslim ministry, stories and ideas emanating from the global south and guidance to help identify and reach vast communities still unengaged with the Gospel.
