SALAAM WEEK

Living the Way of Peace • An Immersive Discipleship Experience

Jesus said the greatest commandments are to love God with all our heart, soul, and strength—and to love our neighbor as ourselves. In today’s world, our neighbors include people from many different backgrounds, beliefs, and worldviews. Salaam Week invites followers of Christ to grow in discipleship while learning how to love and engage our Muslim neighbors with respect, humility, and truth.

This week-long experience blends intentional learning with meaningful interaction. You’ll explore what it means to abide in Christ more deeply, and how that abiding shapes the way we see and love people whose stories and cultures are different from our own. We practice listening before speaking, dialogue over debates, and presence before persuasion—grounded in the biblical call to love God and love our neighbor.

What You’ll Experience

During Salaam Week, participants will:

• Grow in spiritual formation by learning to abide more deeply in Christ

  • Guided reflection, Scripture, and prayer woven throughout the week

  • Space to slow down, listen, and reflect on how God is shaping your heart

• Participate in immersive cultural experiences

  • Living and spending time in an immigrant community

  • Visiting a mosque with guided explanation and cultural context

  • Shopping at immigrant-run markets and local businesses

  • Sharing meals and participating in an immigrant-hosted dinner and cultural exchange

• Hear from believers with long-term experience walking cross-culturally among Muslim communities

  • Learning from those who have lived, served, and built relationships across cultures

  • Hearing real stories of faithfulness, patience, and gospel witness

• Engage in thoughtful reflection and guided dialogue

  • Processing experiences together in a safe, Christ-centered environment

  • Asking honest questions and reflecting on what it means to love well across difference

• Practice listening, hospitality, and trust-building with neighbors of different worldviews

  • Learning a few phrases of a new language through simple, immersive techniques

  • Practicing presence, curiosity, and respect in everyday interactions

This experience is designed not only to increase cross-cultural understanding, but to form disciples who live out Christ’s call to love people well—especially those whose background and beliefs differ from their own.
