About POBLO

POBLO Ministries began in 1993, with one missionary, as an outreach to Muslims in the Dearborn, Michigan area where there is the largest population of Arabs outside the Middle East. Now, 10 years later, POBLO has sites in 8 districts of the LCMS and is currently working in Canada, Pakistan, and N. India. To date 10 ethnic churches have been planted. POBLO ministries embraces a relational philosophy of evangelism. We believe that building relationships with Muslims is the most effective means of sharing the Gospel. Through relationships, trust is established. Through discipleship, new faith is nurtured. POBLO fufills its mission by providing a number of services: English classes, food pantries and clothing banks, driving lessons, computer classes, job training and more. Through these services, relationships are formed and opportunities to share the Gospel arise. In other words we earn the right to be heard.

	POBLO International, (People of the Book Lutheran Outreach), is an LCMS mission outreach to Muslims in the U.S. and abroad. This is a mission society which began in the United States about fourteen years ago with the purpose of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs as well as other ethnic groups in North America. In addition it is their goal to raise up spiritual leaders among them, and establish Christ-worshipping communities within them. Rev. Baidaoui was ordained by the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, along with eleven other men who serve in various roles with POBLO. He is a member of Cross of Christ Lutheran Church in DeSoto, Texas, where he was baptized into the Christian faith on February 10, 1991. Rev.
