Extraordinary testimonies from Muslims in the UK are all part of an ambitious vision by outreach organisation Leading The Way
Dr Michael Youssef's Plan To Win A Million Souls

As Leading The Way’s Founder and President Dr Michael Youssef turned 70 last year, rather than making plans to retire – or at least slow down – he embarked on one of the most ambitious plans in his life: to win one million souls for Christ.

In order to achieve this, Vision 2025 was launched, a strategy with seven very specific goals to expand the global reach and impact of Leading the Way’s ministry in ways that were previously not imagined or thought possible.

Just over a year later since stepping out with this vision, Dr Youssef has already seen incredible breakthroughs in all of these seven areas of ministry.

1. Doubling our Media Footprint – 50 million new viewers in the US this year alone.

2. Reaching Muslims here at home – a growing number of Muslims being impacted for Christ in the UK.

3. Expanding the Discipleship Network in the Muslim World – three full-time field team members have been hired this year.

4. Doubling the Audience of THE KINGDOM SAT – ten-year anniversary event broadcast to 190 million homes in the Middle East from Cairo, Egypt.

5. Hosting Evangelistic Events – 22+ speaking engagements this year on secular media outlets.
