Where (in what country) is the job? There are some majority-Muslim nations whose laws I wouldn't want to live under (Saudi Arabia, for example). But if the job is in a place like the US or UK or Canada, I'd be fine with it. I'd probably get to know Muslim culture a little better, which is a nice plus.

You got a good job offer in a place where everyone else is a Muslim, would you accept this job?
Definitely have to pray about that one. That is also an opportunity to witness to the people of God's love.

why not? Whats our job again in this world? They NEED Jesus. See for me every thing every moment is about sharing Jesus. Nothing wrong to just live this like in peace.. He came to give us life and more abundantly. For me.. I have to share.. everywhere. There are some Jobs I would not take since I would have to mislead or out right lie.

Yes! The harvest is vast but the harvesters are few.

Having travelled a lot and spent time in Malaysia, I would never choose to live there. I resent the religion and culture too much to feel comfortable there even though its very accommodative to expats and had the friendliest people I've ever met. To live as a Christian though under Sherea law, where I can be executed for saying the wrong thing to the wrong person? That's a tough situation to volunteer for - doubly so for any woman. Having said that, others are right that it's currently a fertile ground for witnessing. If your desire for serving God leads you there via a good job, I'd commend you for such a bold move. Just understand that you're vulnerable when living overseas, and it's a risky proposition when you have to fear both the people and the government's judicial system.
