Abstract
Christian-Muslim encounter is part of the mission of the Kingdom of God which has a goal of redeeming all humanity. Christians and Muslims have been historically engaged in competitive truth claim characterized by violence. In Ghana, Christians engage Muslims in a peaceful way by means of an integrative community, education and political lifestyle. However, there is always a battle centered on power struggle and soul winning in regards to evangelism. Evangelizing Muslims in Ghana is focused on the provision of social services and theological dialogue. However, such social services and theological debate are not enough to share gospel to Muslims especially given the power-oriented nature of Ghanaian society. In addition, the rationality of the truth claim of Islam and its consequent appeal to the natural mind renders it difficult to persuade Muslims on the basis of theology. Moreover, the animistic practices of Folk Islam in Ghana and its commonalities with traditional African religions create further challenges in the conversion of Muslims into Christianity. Thus, this paper maintains that a power encounter through the work of the Holy Spirit in missions is the most effective missiological approach to evangelizing Muslims in Ghana.
