Commendations for the Zwemer Center...from Missions Leaders:"The Zwemer Center for Muslim Studies is a beautiful and strategic combination of crucial research and actual teaching. Would that more institutes like this studded the world of missions. They are a must." "The Zwemer Center is carrying on the vision of the Apostle of Islam whose name it bears with his passion and academic rigor." "For many years I have dreamed of seeing an evangelical center come into existence, which would focus its energies, resources, and vision toward the worldwide evangelization of Muslims. It is with gratitude that I have seen this dream being incrementally realized in the Zwemer Center at Columbia International University. It is a most worthy undertaking led by extremely competent people within an ideal academic setting." "The Zwemer Center--without doubt the premier place for Islamic studies with a focus on ministry preparation. It's long and strong reputation is well deserved." from Zwemer Center Students:"This program has not only caused me to learn more about the Muslim faith, but has dared me to rethink what I believe about my own faith. It has been challenging but encouraging to see God's Word hold firm against every (Muslim) accusation thrown at it." - Christa "I entered the program wanting a greater understanding of the Muslim mindset. I left with a burden to share my life and faith with the masses trapped in Islam. It is my prayer that I may have the compassion of one of my instructors who could not talk of his ministry without tears." - Sean "As I continue to learn, I am amazed how my excitement for ministry grows. I have the benefit of studying Islam as I communicate to my Muslim friends. Now when they share with me, I understand where they are coming from and can better respond with the truths taught in the Bible. I also feel my heart breaking more and more for these people who have not heard about Jesus." - Michelle
