520 |a Despite increasing numbers of converts from Islam, there are still difficulties for Believers in Christ from Muslim Backgrounds (BMBs) to become part of their local churches. Their understanding and expectation of churches are often vastly different from the reality on the ground. In addition, they also often have diverse practical issues that prevent a smooth integration within their adoptive Christian communities. This article reflects on the perspectives of BMBs related to their difficulties and barriers to fully embracing their new faith or belonging in local churches in North America. It also outlines the normative shape of faith communities in Islam and Christianity and suggests how local churches may better serve converts by encouraging closer belonging and informed discipleship.
