Cross over to the Cross: Bringing the Hope of the Cross to Shia Muslims in Your Community

by Rev. Dr. Elie Hasbani

Overview

Crossover to the Cross was a labor of love as it represents a great passion of Rev. Dr. Hasbani; reaching the lost. Evangelizing to Shia Muslims in the US and the world was the topic of his Doctorate in Ministry dissertation, which involved countless hours of reading similar books, research, interviews and self-examination.

Crossover to the Cross was written to help Christians recognize God’s heart for Muslims and to help overcome the personal, spiritual, political and cultural obstacles that are preventing much of the Western Church from effectively leading Muslims to the cross of Jesus, with a special emphasis on the Shia Muslims who are often feared and misunderstood, and thus, ignored.

Crossover to the Cross is comprised of a collection of four smaller books, each covering unique, but related content, which together create a book for Christians to understand the history, culture, background and beliefs of Shia Muslims. Each chapter is followed by a group discussion with questions to provoke thought and action. The content can be easily modified for reaching all Muslims and for general evangelism.

Crossover to the Cross is a practical tool that can be used in a small or large group setting to train and mobilize Christians to engage in missions to Muslims. And to do so boldly, in love and without fear, clarifying any misconceptions of the cross of Jesus Christ.

About the Author

Dr. Elie Hasbani got saved in 1985 amidst the Lebanese Civil War, a time of conflict as radical and extremist Muslim groups rose, like Hezbollah and Hamas, creating conflicts and fueling hate between Lebanon and neighboring Arab countries. Although these groups were once Dr. Hasbani’s enemies, God’s love opened his eyes to see that the battle is not flesh and blood, but rather, a spiritual one. He realized that, although Islam is an anti-Christ ideology, Muslims are people — people living in darkness and under the influence of Satan. God revealed His love for the Muslim people and His desire that they be saved, something Dr. Hasbani saw come to pass once he started his ministry in the Middle East.

Dr. Elie Hasbani is currently the Lead Pastor at Ethnos Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He served as the Nations Pastor at Eastbrook church for fourteen years and as a pastor, a church planter and evangelist in Beirut, Lebanon and the Middle East for ten years. In 2007, he founded Running For Hope, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to spreading the love and hope of Jesus Christ and providing aid to victims of conflict in developing countries. You can learn more about Dr. Hasbani’s life journey and testimony in his autobiography entitled, The Good Soldier: Running on the Road of Hope.
