WHAT THE SCHOLARS ARE SAYING:

Josh McDowell President Josh McDowell Ministries

“Having personally reviewed the proposals and teaching materials I can see that this organization will provide an educational and resourcing framework for the church that currently does not exist. The resources created by this strategic vision are essential to equip and train missionaries and lay leaders on and off the field in addition to bolstering the ministries of hundreds of organizations….I am personally committed to doing all that I can to serve the success of this ministry….Church based training is a trend and reality today…. There is no ministry that provides better training in churches for Ministry to Muslims than i2 Ministries. i2 Ministries’ “Mission Muslim World: Foundations” not only radicalizes the nominal church attender, but equips them to fulfill the great commission in their own life.”

Dr. Jay Smith - Founder of Pfander Ministries UK

“I am happy to join up and help support i2 Ministries training program MMWU, headed up by a long standing friend and colleague, Dr. Josh Lingel. Josh has the unique gifting of networking with some of the largest churches in the world who are engaging Muslims. He has helped train thousands of pastors and church workers in Indonesia, helped create a school in Brazil that has trained over 4,000 to reach Muslims, and is in the process of training leaders to take the gospel more effectively and passionately in around 45 countries (including Ghana, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Korea, Mozambique, Thailand, Indonesia, and India).

Dr. Darrell Bock Research Professor of New Testament Studies Professor of Spiritual Development and Culture (CCCL)

“This i2 Ministries video training offers a solid challenge to the church to be prepared to interact with Muslim objections to the faith and evangelize Muslims. It introduces the strategic ministry of i2 Ministries that seeks to meet this vital need in the church. This ministry fills a huge need, make use of what it offers.”

Dr. William Lane Craig Research Professor of Philosophy Biola University/Talbot School of Theology Reasonable Faith President

“As the Iron Curtain fell in the twentieth century, so the Islamic Curtain shielding the Muslim world from the proclamation of the Gospel is destined to fall in the twenty-first. The courses contained in i2 Ministries curriculum will help to equip churches and individuals to reach Muslims effectively with the life-changing message of Christ.”

I believe now is the time not only for Tanzania but for all of Africa to receive this training in MMWU to launch the Every Muslim for Christ Initiative, which I believe is the best kept secret for the body of Christ that needs to come to the surface and no longer remain hidden

A Thoughtful and Well-Rounded Examination of Islam’s Challenges and the Great Commission
When thinking about Islam's Issues, Agendas, and the Great Commission, I would look at a few important points. First, does the content give accurate, fair, and carefully researched information about Islam, its challenges, and how the Great Commission connects to it? Second, does it explain difficult topics in a clear way that fits the needs of its audience, whether they are beginners, experts, or people working in interfaith efforts? Third, does it treat sensitive religious subjects with respect and avoid unfair stereotypes or bias? Fourth, does it provide useful advice or practical ideas for working with Muslim communities or encouraging interfaith conversations? Finally, is the material interesting and well-organized, making it easy to follow and learn from?

God Brings other Nations Near You: Prepare and Disciple Now
The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 commands Christians to go and make disciples of all nations by baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and by teaching them to obey all that Jesus Christ taught. My first impression about this cause was that I would be informed about Islam even as the title says. However and pleasantly so, the course has taken me into apologetics, evangelism, Christology, History and built a passion for ministry. The steps of evangelism in to every one as seen in the book Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime does not only teach me to reach out to Muslims. In fact, it teaches me to reach out to anyone with ease and confidence and prayer. The fact that Muslims are grouping around church buildings and premises is not only a way of them propagating their agenda but it's equally God's way of bringing them to us so that our going to them will be possible, easier and faster. Many of the Muslims are our neighbors and if we show them love ad maintain Christ-like lifestyles, then they will observe and by God's grace they will follow. The course materials are available, easy to access, easy to understand, rich in content, intentionally made to guide a new student, and demystify several things. The course evaluates and clarifies several missionary to Muslim strategies and provides better and more biblical alternatives. The presentation of the Gospel to the Muslims as taught here is what I recently did at a public event where they participants were primarily Muslims. They heard the Gospel as I preached. I will need now to start talking with some of them on private basis. The work is rigorous and spiritually enriching as one stops to reflect and pray! This course has caused me to not only be ready to learn at MMWU, it has oriented me to how God is bringing the nations near me even as I keep going.

Opening of the Heart and Mind.
The Bible teaches that we should renew our minds, seek wisdom, and discern what is right. We are called to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, combining both reason and devotion. True knowledge comes from knowing God deeply—both intellectually and spiritually—guiding us to live wisely and righteously This course has truly exceeded all my expectations. I’m deeply grateful to MMWU and to the person who introduced me to it—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Every part of the course is rich with insight, thoughtfully structured, and filled with wisdom. The live Zoom sessions have been especially powerful, offering not just knowledge but real encouragement and practical tools. I feel more equipped and confident to share the gospel, especially in my outreach to Muslims. This experience has strengthened both my faith and my calling.

Islam growing at a very fast rate, they have dominance ideology. The great commission is not for only a selected group of people but should be for all believers to preach the gospel and make disciples us Jesus Christ instructed.
As believers we don't have to entertain any fear in evangelizing the Muslims for Christ. All we need to do is to be well prepared and organized, having a deep understanding of the bible. Muslims refute the concept of Trinity, Atonement, crucifixion , The Bible as the Word of God and Salvation by the Grace of faith. As believers we need to be well vested in our scriptures to counter attack them by proving the scriptures to them.

Jesus in islam and Christianity
A Comparative Review Jesus is a significant figure in both Islam and Christianity, albeit with distinct interpretations. Similarities - Miracles: Both Islam and Christianity acknowledge Jesus' miracles, showcasing his divine authority and compassion. - Virgin Birth: Both faiths believe Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary, highlighting the miraculous nature of his conception. - Prophetic Role: In both traditions, Jesus is seen as a messenger of God, guiding humanity towards righteousness. Differences - Divinity: Christianity affirms Jesus' divinity as the Son of God, while Islam views him as a prophet (Isa ibn Maryam) and messenger of God, denying his divinity. - Crucifixion and Resurrection: Christianity believes in Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, central to Christian theology. Islam denies the crucifixion, suggesting it was an illusion, and doesn't emphasize resurrection in the same way. - Role in Salvation: In Christianity, Jesus' sacrifice is key to salvation. In Islam, Jesus' role is as a guide and prophet, with salvation achieved through submission to Allah's will. Common Ground for Dialogue Despite these differences, Jesus remains a pivotal figure in both faiths, offering opportunities for dialogue and mutual understanding. Shared themes in Jesus' life and teachings can serve as a foundation for respectful conversations between Muslims and Christians.

Reinventing Jesus
This book brings to light some of the issues that Islam uses to discredit the gospel. The chapter has helped me understand that the Bible is a trustworthy tool to use as a witness to Muslims. Tested over time and has remained to be authentic of all times. Regardless of different opinions to discredit its message and authenticity, the gospel continues to disseminate like never before. It is worth noting that the minor differences we have between translations does not change the intended message of the writer. Getting to understand the text date and character; genealogical order and the geographical distribution is key in analyzing texts and putting it into its right perspective. This course is the most mind lowing and a great to tool to equipping Christians to witness to Muslims and defend our faith. It clearly shown the course the divinity and humanity of Jesus as key to our faith. Jesus is Lord and no other way for one to be saved except through Him. The course is a remind of always being ready to share and defend our faith against radical Islam. God loves all people including Muslims and therefore is my duty to share the love of God with Muslims. It is important to note that Muslims will always capitalize on what we don't know as Christians to attack our doctrine. They know that the Doctrine of the Trinity is the weakest for Christians to explain or grasp and that's what they will go for to win an argument

The title was appropriate to the content of the course and reflects the contents covered.
I found the material informative and engaging. The combination of Videos and reading text and survey provided me the opportunity the engage with the content in a meaningful and life changing way. The content provides information that built my confidence in talking to Muslims about Christ. The fact that the trainers were not just sharing something theoretically but were sharing from their lives, experience and calling made the content so compelling for me. I found Prof. Lingel's Passion for the salvation of the Muslim world Contagious and motivating. I have committed to train as many as possible to learn this content and be thoroughly equipped to share the Love and gospel of Christ with Muslims in my country in spite of so much persecution and violence, so help me God.


Dr. Samuel Zwemer

"The Apostle to Muslims"

Samuel Zwemer contributed more to mission work among Muslims in the Middle East and North Africa than perhaps any other individual in history. He was a faithful missionary, a fervent mobilizer, and a foundational theologian for Christian missions among Muslims. Though he did not see scores of Muslims come to Christ, church historian Kenneth Scott LaTourette said he was the only one in history worthy to be called the "Apostle to Muslims." Zwemer founded the Moslem World Journal in 1911. The name of our school was inspired by the spirit of missions and scholarship that existed in that Journal.

Reaching Muslims for Jesus Christ

The challenge and the great hope

  • There are 2 billion Muslims globally

  • 86% of Muslims don't personally know a Christian

  • 38,000 Muslims die everyday without the Gospel

  • Christians are not sharing the Gospel with Muslims

  • Islam is expected to bypass Christianity as the world's largest religion by 2050 if something doesn't change

  • Muslims are coming to Christ like never before

  • There are around 100 movements where at least 1000 Muslims have come to Christ

Extremely Affordable

Tuition for MMWU Courses is based on a sliding income scale making them the most affordable graduate-level courses available.

Start Today

The answer to the global challenge of Islam is a discipled and trained church that loves Jesus.

I’m from Egypt working among Muslims formore than 15 years, I would like really to say I have never seen a course comprehensive and practical like this, I really appreciate,and I am very thankful for the scholarship with MMWU. Even my Muslim friends, when I showed them some of the material, they were really amazed about the quality of the accuracy of the information. It is really helping my ministry for reaching out to our Muslim friends in the Middle East.

I have been a student MMWU for the last two years, I've actually now finished all nine of the MA courses, and I've absolutely thoroughly enjoyed it. So our ministry works in one of the 10 most persecuted countries in the world, and we have a ministry here, specifically doing evangelism to unreached peoples. And I found that the material through MMWU has been absolutely transformational in the way that we do ministry, especially among Muslims.
