NMC unites people from different races, languages and cultural background under the auspicious of Islam. Every participant goes through a cycle, which includes components to assist them with various educational, emotional, and social needs. Through this approach, new Muslims are able to sustain their faith and remain steadfast in times of adversity.

The goal is to nurture our new Muslim brothers and sisters, and ensure retention by providing them with the necessary support and resources to make the journey into Islam easier. Other outcomes include integration of new Muslims into local Muslim communities, empowerment of new Muslims through seminars and education, as well as awareness campaigns of the struggles new Muslims face within the existing Muslim community.

The project was immediately adopted by Mercy Mission India, who have taken the product concept and delivered it in Mumbai. A shelter service operates there taking care of the needs of vulnerable converts, providing them security, accommodation, food and psycho-spiritual support. In order to ensure that the residents are reintegrated into society there is a focus on up skilling residents to be able to find work and also to marry enabling the reintegration into a stable family environment.

The model is one which is founded on three tiers:

• Excellent Listening Service
• Careful Advice Delivery
• Effective Signposting

This project was incubated so that different communities could draw different components that benefit them. Mercy Mission Canada have been the first country to bring all the services together under one banner and seek to benefit the Mississauga Muslim community.
